The very best way for a small-to-medium investor to play commodities (that I have been able to find) is the PIMCO fund, PCRDX. As no doubt I have said ten times or more in the past. With PCRDX your basic capital is preserved in TIPS, while the fund replciates the DJ-AIG commodity index, which includes most things except lumber, palladium, a few other products. It's about 30% in energy, and also includes many of the metals, corn, wheat, soybeans, coffee, I forget what else. No-load and low management fees. I am starting to feel like a salesman for PIMCO, but I really like this fund. They pay out big dividends if you want current income.

Yes years ago I thought of going long sugar and long oats when sugar was down to about 3 cents and oats were a buck and a few pennies a bushel. But I had no money. All my money was made on Norwest Stock prior to the Wells takeover. Since then with yours and Claude's and other's guidance I rode the late 2001 gold and silver mining stock wave. The last few years I have done quite well. I see many years left in our bull run and with Claude's help on drill hole plays and selective choices of the Amex/Canadian cross traded issues I plan on doing even better. I go with cycle pro on the gold bull duration: geocities.com geocities.com Could not find the exact chart I wanted but he sees the gold and silver boom lasting until 2012-2013 or so. I agree. Tom
