We have to help men understand the depravity of their own pleasure. We have to make them feel that sense of desperation, articulating it in a way that leads people to action not paralysis, hope not despair, resistance not capitulation. W e have to make them face what pornography does to us all, men and women. For men, we have to make them face that to be a pornography user is to be a john, to be someone who is willing to buy women for sex, someone who sees sex as a commodity, someone who has traded his own humanity for an ******.”

These are all consenting adults performing in this material.

Do you women agree with this? Is it men’s responsiblity to cease the demand for such service?>>> Or would we be even more at fault for now not crediting women with the fortitude and capacity to understand their own decisions?

…So basically what you guys are telling me is men would take heat from Feminists whether they endorsed **** (legal prostitution) or abolished **** (patriarchal repression). You don’t agree this is bullshit?
A less than-

It isn’t men who feel they have the ‘problem’. Why should men stop looking at it? Men generally don’t feel any negative consequences come from consuming it– why should we care? How is it our ‘faults’ if you (feminists) are the one’s with with the problems over it.

Are you ever looking at the same thing as everybody else? What are you talking about? 1) read 2) write+verify info 3) submit Follow that format from now on and you’ll be alright ok?

When we invest in stock indexes, or in stocks themselves, we are investing in ephemeral things or in pieces of paper that represent something else.  We can’t very well touch, pick up, or taste a stock index.  It exists only in the mind or on graph paper or on our computer screen.  However, when we invest in Commodities, we are dealing with control over things we use every day – staples such as wheat, corn, coffee, sugar, beef, and cotton.  There is something much more “personal” about it.

One major difference between trading stock indexes or stocks (on the one hand) and the Commodities (on the other) is that stock and stock index trading is largely driven by emotion, while trading in Commodities is mostly driven by the law of supply and demand.  This, in turn, depends upon weather patterns, rainfall, carryover of last year’s harvest, amount of acreage planted, animal fertility levels, availability of labor and transportation, variations in worldwide usage, and general economic conditions.

Since emotional (or psychological) input has much less applicability to Commodities trading than it does to stock trading, it follows that we can more accurately predict the future course of Commodities prices.  We can learn to interpret the patterns of the up-and-down waves of prices and of certain Indicators which we read together with price information in order to quite closely forecast what prices will do in the future – especially in the immediate future, such as tomorrow morning.

Whether we think prices will go up – or go down – doesn’t make any difference.  We can place our bet either way.

All of us have heard horror stories about a load of wheat being unceremoniously dumped in the trader’s front yard.  That could happen, but you’d really have to work at it.  A little common sense and attention should serve to keep you away from that risk.  And, if you stick to buying options and avoid getting involved in contracts, at least while you learn the business, it could never happen.  The beauty of buying options is that you hold all the cards.  You put your money on the table and all the cards are yours.  At the same time, the absolute limit of your risk is the amount which you paid for the option.  You have the right, but not the obligation, to perform.  The party who has sold you the option has all of the risk.

Here’s the really great aspect of Commodity trading: Even before you begin to think about committing real dollars, you can reduce your investment risk to zero by paper-trading to your heart’s content while you learn the ropes.  What a concept!  Learn something new and fascinating without risking even a nickel.

And, truly, this is a fascinating world.  It is immensely satisfying to place a bet on the direction of a Commodity’s price – even a paper bet! – and have it go your way.

This should not be done haphazardly.  We know that prices move in waves; that the waves move in patterns; and that the patterns are repetitive and roughly predictable in size and direction as time progresses.  We do not simply stick a wet thumb in the air and guess at it; we make our moves with a basic understanding of Candlestick price patterns and of the various Indicators which throw off clues regarding the next likely direction of prices.  So, it’s not guesswork at all.  We deal in probabilities, with knowledge of these helping hands right there in the forefront guiding us to decisions that make sense.  It’s a gathering-in of all of the evidence before the investment decision is made.

Over many years, I have found that trading Commodities is truly an enjoyable intellectual exercise that, when done conservatively and smartly, can be a real moneymaker, at a level or risk which is strictly controllable by the trader.

Commodities can refer to anything–food stuffs, barrels of oil, sacks of nuts, metals, and so on. But when you are referring to buying options for commodities trading, it is advisable to give priority to those associated with the futures market. These can be–crude oil and its derivatives, coffee, sugar, copper, gold, wheat,etc.

The market for commodities never remains steady; it is subject to rise and fall, based on changing demands and supplies. You have to indulge in a lot of speculation before you can actually think of parting with your money. If the decision is impulsive, it is an invitation to losses; well-thought out, lots of gains!

So how are you going to decide which are the best buying options for commodities trading?

(1) Buying options for commodities trading is a common strategy practised even by experts in the arena, since it has proved to be a generator of huge revenue.

(2) Again, a word of caution here! If you have invested your money in the hope of getting instant results, then it would be advisable not to go in for buying options for commodities trading. The value of these options expires over a period of time. And if you have chosen the most expensive ones, you may find yourself on the loser’s side in case things do not go right!

(3) So start with less expensive options and in a small way. It is easier to take risks if the amount you may lose in the face of probable losses, is small. With more experience and constant practice, it will become easy to pick up winning situations and get profits.

(4) Develop an attitude of objectivity. Seasoned veterans suggest that the best thing to do is to purchase the stock and forget all about it, instead of worrying about it every waking moment of your life! Do not try to force a transaction to take place. After all, patience is the name of the game!

(5) A little bit of research is required to decide the buying options for commodities trading. The best way to find out which options are trustworthy, is to check out the history of that particular commodity. Charts related to its performance over the last ten years or more, should suffice to give you an understanding of its ups and downs.

(6) If some commodities have been at their lowest levels for some years or have been in scarce supply, these options can prove to be profitable.

(7) After you have found such commodities, buy out-of-money call options which hope to last for at least one more year before expiring. Hopefully, the values of these options should rise soon.

(8) Next, search for call options that have recorded losses since the corporates controlling them have been indulging in mass sales. Or these commodities have simply refused to go higher in value. If these commodities are so dependent on market movements for their success, remove them from your list. They are too volatile!

(9) Yes, professionals or experts do dole out good advice. But sometimes, they can be too dampening and prevent you from trading at all. You do not want to end up in depression because nothing is happening! Do take their advice, but also learn to make your own decisions. After all, at some point or other, you do have to be on your own! As a matter of fact, even ignorance can work in your favor at times!

(10) Keep an eye on the movements of the market. When the prices rise, dispose of 25% of your stock. At least, you will get some profits from buying options for commodities trading. Newspapers also comment on commodities–see if the ones you have purchased are also mentioned. The rest of the stock is to be disposed off when the market becomes parabolic.
