Interesting observation.  I (and many people I know) have significant 
parts of my net worth in equity-oriented accounts.  It's not very 
easy to invest that money into commodity contracts.  I'd also like 
to be able to recommend some commodity-based investment 
opportunities to family members with no interest in commodity 
trading.

What would be the best way for a "traditional" investor to capitalize 
on a commodity move like this?  Purchase stocks or funds in 
commodity producers, like oil companies, mining companies, and 
farming conglomerates?  Or is there a more direct approach that 
would capture more of the "pure" commodity price moves without 
the impacts of poorly-managed companies or an anemic stock 
market?
