Commodity-markets

This book gives a great overview of the agricultural commodities markets of the world. It covers how the futures markets work, why they came into existence, and how they can be used to manage risk. The first six chapters are the most useful for the majority of readers; they focus mostly on the corn, soybeans, and wheat futures exchanges in the midwest United States. Several later chapters cover European exchanges and minor world exchanges. Don't expect to become a trader after reading this book, but it's a great place to get started learning about agricultural futures and options.

As the author of futures book "Futures For Small Speculators" and a licensed trader it is important for me to stay abreast of all of the legalese that goes with my profession.

What is even more important is that I'm constantly knowledgeable about the rules and regulation surrounding this business so that I can deal with my clients in the highest ethical fashion.

This CDRom book does all that plus much more. I was impressed by it. The easy to use search directory makes it simple for any brokerage company or large investor to stay on top of it.
