    Default Non commodity investments

    I know, I know, it is heresy in these parts, but I am looking for some input.

    I have a small retirement fund that is about 35% invested in commodities (Sprott Canadian equity being a big part of that) a third in Canadian general funds including some health/tech etc.. and virtually no US exposure (switched out about 2 years ago). The other third is now sitting in cash and looking for a home to invest. Note that these investments have a 20 year time horizon and will not be touched until that time.

    I tend to re-jig the categories and weights every 2-4 years. I think I have enough in commodities here, as I bet on them outside of this investment too. I am looking for sectors, not individual stocks.

    This account is not the most important retirement bet I have, as I am a business owner and invest any extra money into that and not the market, as I feel I have much more influence over the outcome. I have not put any money into this account for 3 or 4 years, but would like the cash that is locked in there to do something more than get sub 1% in a MM fund.

    I am personally happy with my physical metals position and the contents of my pantry and freezer, so please do not turn this into a "buy gold the world is going to end" thread. This is a paper bet, not real money.

    TIA,
    fasTT

    Appreciate the input, but I am looking for markets (India? Latin America?) and sectors and not individual companies.

    I've been watching Bio tech and Casino's the past month or so. Both have had good run ups, but would IMO be a great buy when they pull back.
