Dow, oil, gold pulling back! What to do ... by Larry Edelson

The temporary market correction I've been looking for is here — both in the Dow and some key natural resources as well.

Oil is back under $78 per barrel. Gold is trading under $1,033 per ounce. The market averages are pulling back as well.

But these are just normal pullbacks that open up new buying opportunities. And they certainly change NONE of the compelling forces that are driving natural resources higher:

1. Supplies are dwindling rapidly: There's a finite limit to how much gold, oil, copper and other critical resources are available on Earth — and in many cases, supplies are stretched thin after decades of mining and drilling.

Plus, worldwide environmental regulations strictly limit the new supplies that could be brought to market. Even in the extremely unlikely event that these restrictions were eased, it would take years to develop new mines and new oilfields.

Conclusion: Normally, you could expect plunging supplies alone to push resource prices higher.

2. Massive new demand from China and India: Until recently, the lion's share of demand for critical natural resources came from the U.S. and other developed nations.

Not anymore! China's and India's economies are expected to grow their economies three, four, even five times faster than ours this year. More than a third of the world's population live in these two countries ... they're moving into the middle class ... and their demand for critical resources is skyrocketing.

Conclusion: This enormous new demand combined with dwindling global supplies can only drive resource prices higher.

3. The falling dollar: Despite last year's record-shattering $1.4 trillion deficit, Washington's spending, borrowing and money-printing binge continues unabated. As a result, global leaders and international financial authorities are calling for the U.S. dollar to be replaced as the world's reserve currency.

Conclusion: Until this dire situation changes, you can expect the greenback to continue plunging, driving the price we pay for critical resources ever-higher.
