Yes, commodities are certainly superb long-term holdings for any portfolio, as long as you pay attention to what happens in the broader market, from agriculture to energy to metals, which can be volatile, to say the least.
Risk management is achieved by keeping eyes on the headlines, pouring through industry reports, and monitoring public policy.
Your financial assets in commodities, whether short and long positions, can be diversified in this realm.
Stocks
Exchange-traded funds (ETFs)
Contract For Differences (CFDs)
Today, the commodities market is trading at or near all-time highs. But there are still plenty of opportunities, such as crude oil and silver. You can also short the market today with inverse leverage funds.
