When the price of oil hit almost $ 150.00 dollars per barrel, the price of gasoline went sky high taking along with it the prices of everything else using oil and gas. Now that the price of oil is down to $47.00 per barrel and the price of gasoline where I live is down to $1.60/gallon, I don’t see much of anything follow suit. The prices of food, services, transportation and other commodities which previously blamed the price of oil for the rise in cost have not come down proportionally. Something smells.

How does it all work? I am a college student looking into investment banking, and just acquiring more information. What does it mean to trade oil? Is someone buying a barrel and betting on a change in price?

Monk asked:


I would like to become an investor, and am looking for something simple to get into. I have been told that commodities are one of the easiest methods to begin, yet I know no one doing so. Any advice, help, tips, or detours to something a little more simple will do for me as I plan to follow some through the next year and begin investing around the end of next year or the beginning of 2009
