The commodities market — from copper to platinum, lumber to oil, has been in a bull market since 2003, and according to many experts signs suggest that it will continue for another 5+ years or so, at minimum. From demand from China and India to economic strength in the U.S. and Japan, demand for commodities continues to be strong. How can investors capitalize on the trend for things from copper to corn, from lumber to sugar? What are the commodity plays to be made from a strong housing market or to avoid from a softening housing market? Are there opportunities in alternative energy sources such as ethanol? Should you buy gold or silver? Are there index plays? How is investing in commodities different and the same from stocks?
