On Visa and Commodities: An Addendum

I'd like to agree with almost everything here. However, while I am long two oil stocks and a potash producer, I no longer feel that the small investor can count on the market or the government for accurate data on which to base a decision regarding commodities. Furthermore, I cannot predict or evaluate what a Congress will do regarding subsidies or tax incentives (look at the current lack of support for solar energy by the Democratic legislators; who could figure their stance when that very topic is a plank in their party's presidential hopeful?)
The longer I am at this the more confused I get about how to do due diligence because I do not know whom to trust for data; so,investing has become a a crap shoot. (I am long because I got stuck and therefore hoping for a return to 140 oil so that I can get my ass out in one piece.)
