Commodities encompass many materials, such as energy, livestock and agricultural products, as well as precious and industrial metals. Unlike equities or bonds, commodities tend to have a physical use.

Investment Planning can be exciting
Buying a new car is an exciting experience. We choose the make, model, engine size and whether it is to be diesel or petrol.

It should be no different with investment planning but unfortunately, for most, it is rather boring.
