Sugar, copper, oil, etc. How do I find these type of commodity-oriented stocks so I can put them into a watchlist? Thanks.

I guess there is nothing that just says "Commodities." That's what I was hoping to find.

That's an idea. Except I've never traded futures. Could learn. Somewhere, somewhere there's got to exist a "basket" of Commodities. Got to sniff around.

glgene,
Perhaps an ETF? There are many which focus on "Natural Resources".

"Commodity" is a broad term, which itself breaks down into groups (e.g., Energy, Financial, Metals) that, in turn, breaks further into subgroups (e.g., Crude Oil, 10-Yr Treasury, Gold). You need to be more discretionary in ure search.

Check out the $CRX.X !
It's a Morgan Stanley Index of Commodity Related Stocks !
I haven't yet been able to find a complete list of ALL the components of that Index...but, it has to be available somewhere !
Here is a partial list of some of the companies included :
Morgan Stanley Commodities Index (CRX.X)
Alcoa Inc. AA
Burlington Resources, Inc. BR
ConAgra Foods, Inc. CAG
Phelps Dodge Corp. PD
Weyerhauser Co. WY
