I am interested in currently investing in the low oil and natural gas prices without an eft but down the road I’ll mostly be investing in stocks. I will be starting with around $500 to invest so I need lower commission sites.

I am 25 have other investments and this is just my play money and willing to be risky with it.
I didn’t see anything about commodities on Scottrade or Charles Schwab. If there is give me the link.
Interactive Brokers minimum requirements is $10,000 I can’t do that.

When the price of oil hit almost $ 150.00 dollars per barrel, the price of gasoline went sky high taking along with it the prices of everything else using oil and gas. Now that the price of oil is down to $47.00 per barrel and the price of gasoline where I live is down to $1.60/gallon, I don’t see much of anything follow suit. The prices of food, services, transportation and other commodities which previously blamed the price of oil for the rise in cost have not come down proportionally. Something smells.
