How to invest in Commodities

[emsman]

Just after reading Mark Shipman's book on 'Next Big Investment Boom' and it got me very interested in the commodities market. Anyone know how i can go about investing in such things as gold, crude oil, cotton, coffee etc.......?

Have you considered an ETF based on commodities?

Don't tell me a book devoted to why commodities is the Next big Investment Boom gives no information on how to go about investing in the things

Does the book also tell you when the next big commodity crash is going to be ?

[broken link removed]have a wide selection of commodities, and mixes of commodities, that can be bought via a stockbroker as Exchange Traded Commodities (ETCs) on the London Stock Exchange, in much the same way as an Exchange Traded Fund (ETF).
