Answer by yung4evr2000
He’s now living in Singapore and definitely not investing in anything in the U.S. He has been bullish on commodities for the past 8 years and believes that cycle will continue for the next 10 – 15 years. He recommended buying coffee at the begining of 2008 which turned out to be a brilliant call. Coffee has skyrocketed from 107 to a current 145 – that would be about a $ 1100 gain for every cent.

He believes the U.S. is done for economically and China will be the dominant economic power of the 21st century.

He has been right many more times than he’s been wrong.

A question asked by jeffadelic: Which brokerage companies are reputable for trading futures ?
I am not experienced enough to understand how to trade futures so i need the help of broker.
Can i trade futures with Fidelity or do i have to find a brokerage company that specializes in commodity trading ?

Answer by Sam Jones
Its sounds like you need a full service broker for some hand holding.

Online brokers might not be able to give you the support you need if you are just starting to learn.

Any major broker like JP Morgan will have offices in your area, look into that.

If you prefer to go at it alone, a broker like interactivebrokers.com offers futures at good rates.
