Do any of you play in the commodities market(s)?
From what I can tell from a friend of mine who's been playing (on a small time basis) for over ten years, it seems similar to poker or blackjack, where, (depending on the house/game rules) and the skill of the player, an advantage might be obtained - again with skill and over time.
I'm interested in learning more about it, I've been poking around on Options Express, watching repeats of Trading Places (sorry, had to lighten it up) and just generally reading. I don't have much time for it right now, but it interests me enough that I might try to learn more about it slowly over time.
His profits are small (usually less than $200 per trade) but it happens often enough to add up. He has losses too of course.
Obviously, any play is on the side and outside of a typical, long term portfolio - again, much like a trip to LV.
I am just curious to see if others are into this. My sense is that small time players are few. I could be wrong...still curiousl
