i have a bias on lumber. if housing is going to stink, so does lumber and w/o a hurricane to stuff the void, i don't see where that is going to go.

cotton... i suppose asia will want it, but we won't be buying any of it <g>

corn? enthanol based move now. if that dies, so does corn. and i think all that ethanol money is going to money heaven. its the dumbest answer to the energy issue since ethanol. remember about a decade ago? <g>

oil again, but when. uranium, on a pullback? gold? plat? silver? interest rate laddering, assuming the eventual usa default is a decade away, but not assuming the revaluing of the dollar isn't. remember the german mark in the 70's?

buy land, drill a well, stock up on seed, and get a horse to pull your wagon.

i don't have any good ideas, and i'm well known on SI for not having any at all. ask mushroom for example. i'm really dumb and i've never made a dime and i don't understand anything.

hope that helps.

Grains, sugar, lumber, etc. are hardly affected by US Dollar gyrations. Other influences, endemic to each of those commodities determine price levels. Gold, silver, maybe crude oil are much better hedge vehicles. Both pm's and energy stocks closed near or at their highs today. I think that points the way.
