Commodity Investing Knowledge Base

Does anyone have any information on commodity investing and or trading they can pass on to me? I would like to become an investor, and am looking for something simple to get into. I have been told that commodities are one of the easiest methods to begin, yet I know no one doing so. Any advice, help, tips, or detours to something a little more simple will do for me as I plan to follow some through the next year and begin investing around the end of next year or the beginning of 2009
Commodity Investing in India? Jim Rogers suggests INVESTING in commodities.But I am not sure how one does that.For example sugar is low priced now and will remain so even into the next year-how does one take advantage of this?Can the method of commodity indexes of passive investing be replicated on a smaller scale by us?Is it possible to buy low and then sell later as with stocks? NB:Neither Jim Rogers book nor commodity index funds are available where I am.As for ETF there is only an ETF for gold.

thinking about investing in crude oil, anyone know much about investing in this commodity? Seems like the perfect commodity to invest in from an economic standpoint, limited resources/ huge demand...what are the drawbacks?
Will increasing margin/capital requirements in commodity investing hurt the "Average Joe investor"? With the increases in gas prices, I've tried coping with such by buying an ETF that invests in oil futures (ticker: OIL.) When OIL spikes in price, I sell some shares and uses the profits to pay for the higher gas at the pump. It's not a perfect solution but I've been managing to hedge the increases in gas prices for quite some time this way. Now, if the gov't wants to increase the margin or capital requirements to invest in commodities, will this affect me in any way? Will I still have access to these investment vehicles such as ETFs that invest in commodities? It seems that institutional investors can easily meet the new margin requirements while barring the Average Joe from profitting from the commodities bubble; the Average Joe will still be paying higher prices AND yet, he cannot take advantage of the commodities bubble any longer. I'm concerned about the situation but my knowledge is limited.. please offer a rebuttal.

Question about investing in Brent crude oil? I'm thinking of investing long time in Brent crude oil certificates such as RICI Enhanced Brent Crude Oil Quanto Open End. These appear to be a simple way of investing in the oil price. It's predicted that North Sea oil will run out in the next 20 years. This may be a strange question but what is likely to happen to the certificate price? Will the price rise and then crash because there is simply no oil left to sell or what exactly happens when you invest in a commodity which runs out? Please note that unless something very strange happens I expect the world oil price to rise. The question is about Brent crude, not world oil as a whole.
