There are no true short cuts in investing, but I believe there are some subtle benefits in targeting income when making your investment plans.

Make your money work harder, in the stock market and elsewhere
By buying commodities you can diversify your portfolio over the long-term so it’s less dependent on the returns from shares. You might also hope to trade commodities, if you think you can buy when they’re priced low and sell when they’re high. (Far easier said then done, and plenty of boys in braces will hire you if you manage it regularly).
Rather than whimpering, if you’re well positioned you should be whooping with joy that you’ve got an unlooked for chance to buy the same shares you were buying last month for 10%, 20%, or even 50% less than you expected to pay.
Diversifying your portfolio among different asset classes is a No Brainer.
