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.

Most comprehensive answer:
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.

Hi, I see in Investors Business Daily every day the commodities futures charts and there are 3 that interest me. My question is, Do I buy these three items just like stock? Is the closing price listed the price per “unit” on the specific item? Any insight would be greatly appreciated

A question asked by Vista: What are the differences between trading in commodities & trading in stocks?
I’ve traded in stocks for a while, and people are recommending trading in commodities too. What are some of the more significant differences between the two? Is commodities more or less risky/profitable? Any important points to take note of?
Thanks!
!!!> Thanks for your answer. How long is the expiration date for commodities? Very roughly speaking. Days, weeks, months?
Califrich> I see. It sounds very tempting, yet also very dangerous. Do you have any advice or recommended reading on this? Preferably something concise and to the point
Mark> It doesn’t matter that thousands are better at me at commodities trading. Thousands or more are probably better than me at stocks anyway. Or tennis. Or swimming. Or cooking. Doesn’t mean I can’t do any of those. I’ll probably make some losses at first, but I don’t mind as it’s a learning process.

Answer by !!! Commodities have an expiration date.
Stocks don’t.
Commodities are very risky and more sensitive to news and rumors than stocks.

A question from : Is it good to invest in commodities?
Selected answer:
Answer by iluv2tradestks Yes, at the right time. In this envoironment, you will see commodities are out of favor. You are about a year late. Wait for this bear market to run its course, (should be soon) then go into US growth mutual funds.
I came across this video about commodities trading the other day and thought that you might find it interesting.
