Commodities?

Financial friends, I seek advice. Energy, Mining, Natural Resources, Metals... Supply vs Demand.. Certain companies seem like a good play but I can't pull the trigger. Are you buying? Holding? Staying in cash?

Recently I have been investing heavily in food. Particularly the grilled chicken market. I try to diversify a bit in the international market with my holdings in tandoori chicken and the occasional Pho...tho that is a very liquid holding. Another recent interesting investment vehicle for me has been the tequila fund (yet another international investment). Tho if you invest too heavily in this, I find it tends to make your portfolio get in fights and run naked thru bars. Hope this helps.

I think there is value in the renewable market but that sector will have fall out. The utilities that have nuclear and renewable are good choices also. I like FPL for that. Excelon, NRG. Targa Resources is a gas play.

Buy real estate. Seriously... a home increases in value way more than the stock market will, especially now that home values have plummeted it's a good time to take advantage. You can hire a management company to find renters and take care of any issues that arise.

I had actually seriously considered that option Vizlit, trying to figure out if I want a second mortgage over our heads right now. Kim keeps sending me lovely places in OBX..... *drool*
