Hey everyone, just read this interesting piece on the CRB Index potentially signaling the next big commodity move: Link to Article.

I’ve been watching commodities pretty closely lately, especially with all the talk about inflation and supply chain issues. My own portfolio is fairly diversified, but I've definitely upped my exposure to certain hard assets over the last couple of years, thinking exactly along these lines. The article's point about the broad-based nature of the CRB really resonated with me. It’s not just about one or two specific materials; it's a much larger indicator. I remember back in '08 and then again in the early 2010s, seeing how commodity cycles can really impact everything else. For me, with retirement still a few years out, protecting purchasing power is huge, so these kinds of signals are definitely on my radar. My wife and I are trying to be strategic with our longer-term holdings.

What are your thoughts on this? Are you guys buying into the idea of a significant commodity upleg? If so, what areas are you looking at? I'm particularly interested in what Newell mentions about specific companies on the index, but also thinking about precious metals as a core holding. Speaking of which, for anyone looking to understand more about incorporating gold into their strategy, I found this Gold IRA Blueprint educational resource really helpful for breaking down the ins and outs of it all. Anyway, keen to hear what the community thinks!
