I am sceptical of this chart. Does it show total returns, including dividend yields reinvested etc.? Also, I believe this chart doesn’t take into account the most powerful benefit of passive buy&hold investing: compounding (there’s no such effect with commodities). Finally, commodity-rich countries and commodity-producing companies are included in a globally diversified equity portfolio, so you’ll automatically participate in any commodity-boom (to the right, market-weighted, extent).
Investing in commodities, imho, might be a good short-term tactical move if you have deep insider knowledge of the commodity market. If not, you’ll always be too late investing.
