Arcese, portfolio manager and equity analyst at Foord, said: "We hold commodity-oriented stocks and if commodity prices fall, there will not necessarily be a substantial correction in these stocks."
As part of this strategy, Arcese recommends investing in "the highest quality miners". He specifically pointed out that$McMoran Gold (FCX.US) $It is "one of the lowest cost copper producers in the world".
"Commodity prices in some regions may have exceeded their own expectations," Arcese said.

However, he said: "but we are still very willing to invest in many of these brands in the long term."
Among other personal recommendations, Arcese mentioned FMC (FMC.US), Nutrien (NTR.US), Pan American Silver (PAAS.US), Wheaton Precious Metals (WPM.US) and Livent (LTHM.US).
