Leigh R. Goehring & Adam A. Rozencwajg

We just got back from traveling in Asia and all everyone wanted to talk about was demand.

While investors agree with our supply arguments, they are all concerned about weak demand. In the short-term, they worry about a recession. Longer-term they worry about efficiency leading to “peak demand.” These concerns reflect a fundamental misunderstanding of demand. When things get more efficient, we demand more, not less.

In this letter, we discuss demand in depth and how investors can profit by the lessons of a 19th century economist, Dr. Jevons.

How can investors protect themselves going forward?

While everyone is concerned about demand, focus instead on supply and use near-term weakness to your advantage.

Our newest commentary, Dr. Jevons or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Demand, looks at how demand will be a persistent tailwind throughout the decade.
