You just have to avoid buying the commodity top and be gone before the music completely stops. It's just not the same as buying a typical DGI stock and holding for decades. The correct answer is you buy when it looks like half the sector is in trouble. Never looks like a good idea then because dividends are usually getting cut and everybody discussing them is a bag holder. The big money has probably been made already but it does seem like steel should be in demand for a few years. I timed lumber right but I've messed up commodities plenty of times. They are never easy because the trough can be very long.
