Fascinating post, Kate. Thanks very much.

I thought Bob's rice post was accurate, At least in general. I've been posting much the same from the several sources I read. But the specifics of it interested me. And I wanted to read those at the source.

And, I'm more than a little skeptical of internet text without source attribution. Been burned by that in the past. So I think it's more than the perpetual academic in me.

I've also been reading the stuff on the commodity markets. Read Jim Rogers book when it came out but didn't take the plunge because I couldn't find any investment tools that worked for me. As commodity ETFs and ETNs began to appear, the commodity boom skyrocketed. So that didn't seem the time to invest.

I'm looking to put a small portion of our portfolio in commodities as a diversification play. But haven't found the right time to start easing my way in.

If you've got any insights into what sort of signals to look for, I would love an advice you might have.
