Best Commodity Stocks, ETFs

It’s time to take advantage of high commodity prices through stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), says Tom Kennedy, a managing partner for Global Wealth Advisors, in a new episode of the Early Bird podcast.

Bullish: Kennedy said that some oil and gas stocks have room to run for the rest of the year due to the current state of supply and demand.

High Hopes: While the price of oil for WTI Crude is about $100 per barrel, Kennedy says that the price could go above $130 by the end of the year.

Earnings: The financial earnings for oil and gas companies will also be positive, according to Kennedy.
