"#1 book for the beginner"
Highly recommend this book. Invaluable coverage of the basics in commodity trading starts at the complete novice level, then expands into very useful knowledge and tools that validates trading methods seen in the world of stocks and options.
"Misleading"
This book is slightly misleading. I thought I was going to learn about fundamental commodity investing. The book does cover commodities, but not enough for you actually invest. This book covers basics as stop losses, and what an option is or futures.
I was hoping that the book would explain basic commodity fundamentals.
This book explains basic stock market fundamentals and using commodity futures as an example.
You might like this book, but I found Commodities for dummies a lot informative and useful.
"Overall a good pick for starters"
It's a very good book for starters in the commodities markets. The author explains all the basics. There is some repeation of concepts though.
