Have you thought about investing in PAL , a Palm oil share.

i had a quick look, but it didn't excite me greatly ... perhaps i'll check it out again
the "softs" i am thinking about are more like wheat and other staples and i don't think palm oil really falls into that category, even though it has many applications

Cynic,

I don't see a large fall in gold as likely, but it may not continue to rise at the same pace as it has, although some of the stuff I read about US finances sugges tit probably will!

I agree with your comment about "soft" commodities, and as Aldwickk mentions above, palm oil is one sector that is looking bright a the moment.

My non resource tip for 2011 is MHG, Merchant House.

For the resource sector I am going with Leni Oil and gas (surely new management can finally realise some value from the assets?)

And in the PM sector I am going with Metminco.

Andy - i haven't heard of any of these, but i assume they are all plankton and therefore not of interest to me

Don't forget ANR, folks. I trade in and out of this one a good many times every month for a bit of profit here and there. BHR is similarly useful.

since we seem not to be discussing just "stocks" i.e. softs and gold also and such like are being mentioned then i hope you wont mind me mentioning a currency. the aussie dollar is my suggestion for continuing strength thro 2011.

on currencies, i would bet on a significantly weaker euro - the possibility of it being split into a two-tiered strong and weak entity not being out of the question - and a stronger US$

On the FTSE 100 I think VOD is looking good with the promised hikes in Div and the prospect of Verizon Wireless finally paying divs upstream.

Agree the Euro could slip but doubt the split you mention
