The commodities market is always a guessing game, never being able to be clairvoyant enough to select the right time to buy and sell. The safest bet might be to invest in precious metals, like gold and silver.
In the past you could buy an ounce of gold for around $400 dollars, and an ounce of silver for around $5 dollars. Now, the price of an ounce of gold has rise to almost $1300 dollars and an ounce of silver recently traded for $49, before settling into the upper $30s as a price. This is a remarkable increase for these precious metals and if you track the rise, you will see they consistently outperform other investments like the stock market. In these troubling economic times, it is a good bet that gold and silver will continue to increase in value, or at the very least, not lose any significant value.
