I could produce a long list of reasons to stay away as an inexperienced investor but I will give you a few: 1)Insider trading is not only legal, it is expected. There are people who know the true supply of cotton, in fact, there are four groups of them and they trade against retail investors. 2) They are not simple. Stocks are simpler investments. 3) Do you really want to take delivery or be obligated to deliver 30,000 gallons of heating oil? Where will you put it? If not, why do you trade it? 4) In the event of a crisis, can you deliver the required corn of your investment. 5) In the event of a crisis, and the markets are closed by the government and contracts come due, do you have the cash to support them outside this account? 6) Do you understand the supply and demand dynamics of the commodities you are trading? Commodities are for gamblers and professionals. Individual investors do not belong there. As a very experienced professional investor, STAY AWAY.
