One of the best decisions that you can make when expanding your investment portfolio is to put thought into commodity trading. Commodity trading is capable of providing asset allocation that is truly ideal, and is also capable of giving you a bit of an extra hedge against inflation because you are buying into something that has a great amount of global demand. Commodity trading is not one of the investment vehicles that people consider right away, so there is a decent amount of nervousness and apprehension associated with when to invest, where to invest and how to invest. While commodity trading is known for providing rather volatile price fluctuations, the high returns are well worth the effort and the investment in most cases.

Commodity trading allows for an investment portfolio to be overall improved in terms of return without having a negative impact on risk. Are you wondering who will best benefit from investing in Commodities? If you are looking to take advantage of movements of price or are willing to make an effort to diversify your portfolio then you can and should invest in the commodities market. It is important however that small investors and retail investors be careful when initially entering into this market, because a lack of knowledge and understanding of the volatile swings that the market experiences can result in a significant loss of wealth.

In order for an investor to be successful in the commodities market, savvy investors need to have a thorough understanding of the demand cycles that the market goes through. These savvy investors must also have a decent view on the different types of factors that may have an effect.

One of the ideal avenues for you to pursue is to invest in specific, select commodities that can be analyzed individually, instead of simply speculating about products that you have no real background information on. While it can be enjoyable to speculate on products that are new and exciting to you, sometimes this can be a bad decision as you will be making guesses without any real information about them. You should be investigating and buying into commodities as a way to expand and diversify your portfolio. Commodities are an excellent way to turn your portfolio into something more exciting, and then money should be your second concern.

Commodity trading has been around for longer than anyone can really remember. Most modern commodities markets appeared around the 18th century, during the same period where farming was becoming modernized. While the mechanisms have been updated over time, the basics to commodity trading have never changed. Commodities are defined as most types of products, or every kind of movable property aside from money, actionable claims and securities.

Commodity trading is essentially just trading in the futures of commodities. Trading commodity derivatives would allow you to take a buy or sell position based on the performance in the future of commodities like silver, metals, gold, crude or agricultural commodities as well. Many exchanges deal in grains, pulses, oils, oilseeds, spices, metals and crude. Commodity trading on futures is actually not much different than regular futures trading, so you can take long positions or short positions based on how you believe the future of the commodity will change.

Is Gas Too Cheap in the US?

bassdoc asked:


I’m not joking – in Europe it’s about twice as much as in the US, and everybody just pays it, just like they will in the US if the prices double.
“Free Market” which conservatives usually champion, state that the price for any commodity should be whatever people will pay for it, as long as there is competition (not price fixing) between companies.
While I’m not usually one to side with Middle Eastern countries, I think their prices are ridiculously low considering that European and American Middle Men turn around and sell it for four times as much!
In fact most of the money goes to taxes, in which case it is nothing more than a cash cow for the US government, instead of a commodity being fairly treated and traded.
Your thoughts?
We are paying 1.50 euros per liter here in Holland, which is $2.25 a quart!
Nearly $9.00 a gallon!!!
These congressional hearings will amount to nothing. Everytime prices go up they have the hearings to appear they care, and then absolutely nothing happens!
I expect much of it has to do with the weak dollar (thanks to irresponsible interest rate and tax cuts).
Also remember, when a commodity becomes scarce, it gets more expensive, so as resources in the Middle East and elsewhere run dry, the price is going to go WAY up!!!

RLP THE QUEEN OF HEARTS asked:


OBAMA – In June 2005, Obama and Rezko purchased adjoining parcels in Kenwood. The state’s junior senator paid $1.65 million for a Georgian revival mansion, while Rezko paid $625,000 for the adjacent, undeveloped lot. Both closed on their properties on the same day.
Last January, aiming to increase the size of his sideyard, Obama paid Rezko $104,500 for a strip of his land.

HILLARY -On October 11, 1978, the future First Lady, a neophyte investor with an annual income of $25,000, opened a commodity-futures account with a deposit of $1,000. Her first trade was the short sale of ten live-cattle contracts at a price of 57.55 cents a pound: a commitment to deliver in December of that year 400,000 pounds of cattle with a market value of $230,200. One day later, she bought the contracts back at a price of 56.10 cents, just 0.15 cent above the low of the day, pocketing $5,300 for a return of 530 per cent.

I have ben duped to send $8100 to enter into a futures trad, the trade was successful but now I find the telephone numbers given are false, they are not listed in the Tokyo directory and I am unable to trace them in company registries. can you please help me

Online commodity trading and futures trading are by-words today. But this was not the scene always. The original marketers belonged to the 1800s. They were just farmers who wanted to sell what they had grown on their agricultural lands. Crops would be harvested, and produce brought to the market for sale.

Not having the educational services available in modern times, they were not able to judge whether the goods that they had brought were sufficient or less in quantity. If the quantity was not sufficient for the buyers, the farmers lost an opportunity to make more money. If there was excess quantity, produce like crop products, meats and dairy products would have to be carted back home. In time, they would rot and spoil. Either way, whether there was a surplus or a deficiency, the farmer suffered losses.

Sometimes, a certain produce would be available off season, but not in as large a quantity as it would be if available during the regular season. Naturally, the products made from this were sold at high prices.

Ultimately, many heads got together to come up with the idea of a common or central marketplace. Farmers would bring their harvests here on certain days and sell them. The buyer could take them as immediate delivery (today, it is called spot cash) or order them as a future delivery (today, known as futures market).

The result of this endeavor was setting of standard prices for different commodities (in season and off season), plus giving an indication to farmers about demand and supply. Thus, spoilage of produce was brought to a halt and farmers no longer incurred huge losses. This can be seen as the stepping stone to the online commodity trading and futures trade that exists today!

Foregoing all that happened between now and then, looking at online commodity trading now as it exists, what are the considerations to be kept in mind if someone wants to go in for it?

(1) The first and foremost point regarding online commodity trading is having an intelligent grasp of how markets function (physical or online) and how contracts are drawn up for futures trade.

(2) Whether involved in online commodity trading or futures trading, there has to be a manufacturer of goods and a consumer of the same goods. One is the seller and the other is the buyer in the contract.

(3) Trade today has gone from agricultural produce and food products to much more, including financial instruments. So the trader has plenty of business options.

(4) Online commodity trading differs from futures trading in that goods may have to be handed over physically. A receipt is issued to the customer, enabling him/her to go to the warehouse and pick up the products.

(5) Another type of contract that has come into being is the futures contract. This has evolved from a forward contract, which is nothing but a buyer signing an agreement to pay for and purchase goods at a specified date some time in the future (generally, the time limit is three months from the date set on the contract). The goods will be delivered on that future date.

(6) According to the agreement, the buyer is getting a commodity not yet available. The price is of course, decided beforehand. Sometimes, the commodities are priced according to future values; stock market indices act as decision-makers for the value set on a particular commodity.

(7) Another aspect of futures trading is that neither the seller is the actual supplier of commodities, nor the buyer the actual user of the goods purchased. Only if the person is personally involved with the actual commodity purchased, will he/she provide and use it.

(8) Futures contracts are useful for both sellers and buyers because risks are minimized, plus the parties get the opportunity to indulge in a little bit of speculation. There is no exchange of physical goods.

(9) Different strategies are available for spot traders as well as future traders, to make use of rising and falling prices to their best advantage. These strategies can be classified as–spread, going short and going long.

(10) For the same commodity, the prices specified in two different contracts may not be the same. The businessman tries to use the price difference to his advantage. This is called a spread.

(11) Going short indicates that the trader is wondering if he/she can gain a profit from falling prices. The contract is therefore sold at a high price now, to be re-purchased at a lower rate in the future.

(12) The last strategy for online commodity trading or futures trading is going long. Here, the investor and the speculator sign an agreement where the buyer is ready to purchase the product at a pre-set price. He/she is anticipating that the price may rise in future, yielding further profits.
