Except we got a nice special in January, so can't complain really.

True, although for my HYP calculations I treated that special as a return of capital, funded as it was by a sale of company assets.

So long as you feel comfortable with a bit of volatility, getting exposure to commodities through one or a few listed companies can be seriously profitable.
FTSE 100 constituent BHP Group (LSE: BHP) is a great example. Shares in the world’s largest miner are up a very respectable 25% over the last year. However, if you’d had the courage to buy the stock just over three years ago when the commodity market last dropped like a stone, you’d be looking at a gain of around 200%.
Despite the less-than-enthusiastic reaction from the market to today’s interim results, I believe those already invested should stay the course.
