Is the Dow Going To Crash like 1929?
Posted by admin
In today’s short video Adam examine the crash of 1929 and the similarities to today’s Dow.
This video is not meant to scare anyone, but to educate investors and traders of the possibilities that may exist in today’s market.
We could be, repeat, could be very close to a tipping point similar to that of 1930 when the Dow had ended a 50% correction to the upside. I invite you to watch Adam’s latest video and see what makes sense to you.

I read that the oil traders on wall street make huge bonuses.. what exactly is oil and commodity trading?
Posted by admin
how does it all work? i am a college student looking into investment banking, and just acquiring more information. what does it mean to trade oil? is someone buying a barrell and betting on a change in price?
Those were the traders in the exchanges, literally, in the pits. There are contracts on all kinds of things, even rights for factories to pollute. These things are commoditized–uniform standards set, like so many board feet of certain kinds of timbers, etc. In the exchanges, there are representatives of the companies that own "seats" on the exchange. Usually, they are filling orders from brokerage houses. At any given moment there could be, say, ten people call in (or do so online) to say Buy 20 September. Usually, if there were also several who said in the same approximate time Sell 5 September, so the broker will often simply make the swap, so the pit trader is then told Buy 15 September contracts. He or she, in the midst of the fray will try to get a better price than current on the board above them. In the pit are also those from other brokerages doing the same, but there are also traders. These people will take it off your hands–for a price. But then they don’t have the reasons to have bought or sold that the previous contract owners had, whatever reasons or even lack of reason, that brings them to either want to acquire or get rid of those commodity contracts. So the trader will then look for a place to pass that hot potato–for a price.
So, in the market are people who simply fill orders and people who make money in the process. If your brokerage’s trader got the order to buy oil at 64 but the trader actually got it at 63.75, you may be charged 64, as you asked, but the trader made money in doing it. If it is your brokerage that executed the trade you may realize the difference, but if your brokerage was busy or farmed it out, hey an order for 64 is an order for 64, done!
There are people in the pits with doctorates in economics. There are people in the pits with degrees in philosophy and music. But the people in the pits are all superbly good at fast haggling with their hands (because of the noise they may yell what they want, but their hand signals rule).
How does commodity/futures trading with orange juice work?
Posted by admin
I am confused on the trading of orange juice, or frozen orange juice. I know speculators are there to just trade with no intention with taking delivery. However are large orange juice companies/manufacturers purchasing orange juice? I ask because i may work on a paper that revolves around the the commodity market bringing foods such as oj to areas like where i live (durango,co) year round. Where we have no citrus trees at all, but we constantly have shelves stocked with oj. So is the commodity market responsible for making this juice available year round?
If you have some free time, I recommend watching Wall Street Warriors (Its on Hulu.com). There’s one individual in the show that trades on the orange juice floor in NYC.
To answer your question, yes. Representatives of large companies buy a spot on the floor and look to buy up tranches of orange juice at the lowest price. Let’s say Hurricane Bobby is approaching the coast of Florida – a company will want to lock in orange juice now while prices are lower and before supply is cut.
I’m not really sure if any of this helps. I’ll see if I can find some other resources for you.

Commodity and Currency Trading Websites?
Posted by admin
Hi,
What are the good Commodity and Currency Trading Websites? I would like to start trading. I am a low volume trader probably 1-5 trades a month.
Which sites have good rates?
This is a tough question as you could go with a traditional low cost broker, but if you want to catch quick moves a broker with a DOM (Direct Order Module) may be the way to go as the order placement is quicker and the margins for the trades are lower, not to mention the commissions are less as these brokers are in the businesses daily.
Try www.infinityfutures.com or www.mirusfutures.com for good service, execution and low commissions.
