Default Exposure on the commodity cycle?

Whats the best way to get some exposure to the commodity cycle?

I like RIO and BHP but with the weak US$ having an adverse affect on their
profits wouldnt this take some of the gloss of them?

What other companies offer a good, broad exposure to commodities?

If you want exposure to the commodities market then buy companies that deal with them.

With the weak dollar, well you're never going to escape the fact that commodities are traded in USD whever you're trading from.

You need to pick which commodities you want expore to and then pick your
company, as companies which deal with a broad range may not end up
performing the way you expect - becauase one commodity could be up and
another down.

Roll your dice when you think you have the table straight.

Just my opinion.

Make sure you learn more before you roll your dice and decide on what you want to do, especially in the investing part... dealing with commodities and other stocks requires that you are well-versed with everything that involves it.
