Alvin Hall's World of Money - 1. Commodities

Financial guru Alvin Hall explores where investors put money during a credit crunch.

With many news headlines being dominated by the rising cost of food and oil, the first programme looks at how instead of feeling the pinch, investors may be able to profit from investing in raw materials, or commodities.

Alvin visits the wheat fields of England, a gold bullion house and the New York Stock Exchange as he talks to the experts about the upsides and the risks in this fast-developing area of investment.
