I guess they think interest rates will go up.

Well, that seems likely. The question is where one should invest to take advantage of that. Bonds would seem to be a bad idea right now. Stocks, though? One could buy commodity futures, but they have a shelf life just as do commodities themselves. A lot depends on how quickly rates move. A sudden jump would hit the economy like a major earthquake would hit mudville.
