Don't Miss the Next 'Commodity Supercycle'

The concept of turning heat energy into motion has made the modern world possible…

First, the steam engine powered the early locomotives and factories of the Industrial Revolution. It worked by burning coal to heat water and using the pressure of the resulting steam to turn wheels.

Now, use that same steam to turn a turbine connected to a generator, and you've got electricity as produced by a modern coal plant...

And in 1939, the town of Neuchâtel, Switzerland, installed the first commercially used natural gas generator. The simple-cycle turbine produced 4 megawatts of power – enough to provide electricity to thousands of homes at once – and was in use until 2002.

Most forms of electricity come from motion – specifically, the movement of air and water. And a lot of that movement comes from heat... whether by burning coal and natural gas or via geothermal power.

Today, our country is in the midst of a huge energy transition. At the same time, we're facing an incredible surge in power demand. This unique setup presents an opportunity for us as investors...

Earlier this week, my colleagues Brett Eversole and Whitney Tilson sat down to detail why they're both so excited about the future of the energy sector. They explained that, despite the push toward renewable energy, oil and gas will remain in high demand for decades to come. And, thanks to the growing use of artificial intelligence, energy demand will only soar from here.

They've even uncovered six new ways to profit from the upcoming commodity supercycle. With the energy sector at one of its cheapest levels in the past 50 years, all signs point to a massive multiyear rally that you won't want to miss out on.

Reader question of the week...

Q: Does blending reduce the fiber in fruits and vegetables? – B.H.

A: Thanks for your question, B.H. A study from the University of Minnesota published last year found that "blending fruits or vegetables will not decrease fiber content, as dietary fiber does not decrease with mechanical forces."

So if you're blending produce for things like soups and smoothies, the amount of fiber will be the same as if you ate the whole fruit or vegetable. Blending can even make nutrients such as fiber easier to digest.

Blending might also improve your body's response to sugar...

A small study published in 2022 compared the glycemic response of participants who ate whole apples and blackberries with those who drank them in blends.

What the researchers discovered was that both men and women in the study had lower glycemic responses to the blended fruit than whole fruit. One reason might be that your body processes the fiber more quickly when the food is blended, which helps to slow the absorption of sugars.

We'd like to see more robust studies on this topic before coming to any real conclusions. But even without this added benefit, blending your produce isn't causing any harm... and may even be better than eating it whole.
