      You want to get yourselves a few barrels of oil, keep 'em in the cellar next to the petrol, near the central heating boiler. Remember make a chalk-mark on the wall and wire up an old lightbulb so you can see if anyone's nicking it.
      Bored.

        Exchange Traded Commodities

        You don't need to use the futures market now to invest in Oil, grains, precious metals etc, as you can buy an ETC (similar to ETF). I am currently holding the Natural Gas ETC in my SIPP, and I believe you can also put them in an ISA. In fact this is not a bad way to hedge against the rising costs of food and energy. For example, I have been considering taking a position in Heating Oil to hedge against the cost of running our oil fired C/H system.

        One commodity which could explode over the next few years as it did in the last commodity cycle in the 70's is Silver. As always though, DYOR.
