[@gayleodom5511]

[@haydeepatricia9744]

Okay, I trade with steven Hart his an excellent analytical broker and account manager. Well known you can get started with him.

[@deborahtaylor9165]

For a start you need a good and experienced hand to guide you. Trust me, trading isn't difficult as we see it. With the right information and guide, you can earn hugely weekly

[@TheFaintedsaint]

Thanks a lot for all ur uploaded videos. These are great for clearing concepts.In case possible; if the risk involved in such contracts can be covered from legal point of view. Thanks Sir.

[@elsherifahmed4498]

Thank you sir, your method more reliable than i think. i still use my strategy inspired from *Lukasz Wilhelm* trading theory to trade commodities and breakout point. i learnt a lot form this video now.

[@alexsutherland8466]

Quite a nice approach to teaching commodity trades. As a newbie I could grasp a little from here,but I've not started making trades by myself, I have my portfolio manager who helps manage my investments for commodities that are usually difficult to predict because of high fluctuation.

[@keiferstephen7393]

You're right on track. You would continue learning more as a manager is helping you with your funds. And also increase your chance of profits as a newbie.

[@ismail480]

A good portfolio(Manager) is important because even if you have little knowledge prior to your first investment, there will be minimised risks involved,you could prevent fatal losses.

[@domingapark261]

I like your teaching - do more please

[@greenquake11931]

Absolutely amazing video, I have finally realised that as a beginner in the financial investment market, you can achieve close to nothing yourself because you still have a lot to learn. Trading with a professional broker is more profitable and my advice for beginners is to always take advantage of that.

[@helenoliver4838]

Instead of timing the market, you should try to diversify your portfolio in order to get a dollar-cost average when it’s time to retire. Keep in mind that you don't need a ton of money to invest. Investing in small amounts can build long-term wealth too!

[@raymondbarnes5264]

I'm an amateur making terrible picks and I really need assistance.

When it comes to the hedging part correct. You can however profit off taking positions or buying/selling. I don't recommand novice traders to go in deep in commodities trading, can be super fun but rather risky.

[@bennyfx4615]

Comparing to other similar sites: • We pay more: 50-80%, others 30% or much less • Faster: we pay till the 5th of next month, others on 25th or later. • We have more brokers: over 70 at this moment and are adding new ones all the time. • We use many payments methods: PayPal, Webmoney, AlertPay, Moneybookers, Neteller, Credit Card, Bank, etc. Others only Bank or PayPal. • And there are many more things that distinguish us and our program from the others.

[@TheMoleMan96]

sorry if this is a stupid question, but what type of course would this be included in? Would it be macroeconomies or something more specific?

[@MoneyWeekVideos]

richkidsmartkid - in the UK it's tough for retail investors to trade commodity futures direct. There are some regulatory hurdles to clear first and minimum contract sizes tend to be too big. However you can place spread bets or use CFDs, both of which replicate the action in the futures markets (albeit not perfectly). Tim.

[@THEasianFROMtheBLOCK]

What are good brokers for commodity trading?

[@williamchurch711]

Is it worth getting a series 3?

[@7ouka84]

Thanks a lot for your efforts! What do you suggest for further knowledge on trading?

[@rudygiovanni7573]

Don’t always look for the easy way out, it’s in the times of the most adversity that we experience the most growth. The more productive work you put in today in developing your trading skills, the better off you will be in ten years.Make sure you’re progressively getting better everyday in trading. I’d much rather be the tortoise than the hare, because I actually get to win the race with my Blended Model strategy. Bottom line is, you have to be willing to pay the price today, then you will be able to say it one day that you’ve “made it”. Keep going, never stop, don’t be afraid of hard work, and never forget your goals and purpose. If you want to learn a powerful trading method based on Forex commodity patterns in combination with technical analysis,i highly recommend you to the *Blended Model Strategy* by Dmitry Vladislav and get your copy of the ebook.. you can find more about it online when you search.

[@albolabris]

Can you name good literature for commodity trading?

[@123jazy]

[@mohanp3417]

nice

[@suleimanthelondoner]

It would be nice if investers were give access to spot markets.

[@crazedmaster]

I think it has to do with hedging - if you save your earned money (dollars) then over time the value of your saving will erode, through inflation - if you buy gold or other precious metals - the value stays the same (the value of an ounce of gold has stayed the same for 100's of years). In essence - you are not buying commodities for a profit, your are buying them to prevent a loss.....

[@murdockmurdock5700]

Or, you are betting that the commodity purchased will rise in dollar value

[@DaRyteJuan]

I’m such a noob. But after this video, I feel a lot smarter.

[@user-vb3fl6js2n]

But I think the main reason for investing in certain commodities would be as a hedging tactic and central banks to have a back up sort of like strategy for currency stability.

[@nabukenyabetty6465]

Wow, this is a wonderful message thanks a lot. What a bout bitcoin someone what's me to inter but I don't know please help to underground it.

[@NotMe35971]

You forgot to mention gains on disposal off commodities if price goes up. This is main reason why most people invest in the first place. Is it not?

Nice video but please change the eraser, its killing me

[@lordrockable]

A person new to trading should find FREE materials online, if they can't and can't work on finding the proper FREE materials at the beginning till they master the basics of trading then their IQ isn't good enough to trade, let alone do it profitably. now after you learn the basics of economics and trading, well at that point you should know what you want to do next.

[@fl1ghtskool]

No income? Then what is the point?

[@kirenjohn]

+Kairee Tekra Capital gains.

[@KT-ed8hj]

+GoldenSnow Google defines "Capital Gain" as "a profit from the sale of property or of an investment." Isn't income and profit the same thing?

[@kirenjohn]

+K T They're not. Income is not derived from the sale of something. So for example, if you own stocks, the dividends paid to you are income as you have not sold anything to receive it. Capital gains is where you buy something, it increases in value, and you sell it. You were not paid any income, instead the value of your capital increased.

[@KT-ed8hj]

what market would you recommend to a college student that has a couple thousand to play with?

[@kirenjohn]

+K T Try to diversify in a few different investment options, your best bet with such limited capital would be to invest in stocks. With stocks, you should be able to analyze the accounts of a particular company to decide which stock to buy, if you currently lack sufficient knowledge to do this, avoid mutual funds and buy an index fund. Don't be bothered by short term fluctuations because you need to focus on the long term. More importantly, make sure you invest a steady amount of capital every month, you can start diversifying into other higher and lower risk options such as bonds and ETF's, but at your age for a majority of your portfolio stocks are the best option.
