My thought is I would use commodities and energy for a portfolio I wanted to be stable- get consistent 5-7% returns. If I wanted higher returns (8-12%) I would look to other investments.

So while accumulating for retirement, bad
while spending money (retired) a great idea.

PRPFX has the energy stocks and gold/silver (commodities) you look for in one fund. I use this for cash I want "liquid", but earning higher than the 3% rates available on cash these days.
