superficial, 2008-02-10
A superficial treatment of the subject. One needs much more information to invest prudently, in my opinion. The lack of depth, in combination with the motivational style of writing (encouraging the reader to invest and make money) is not responsible.

great overview, 2008-01-09
It's a good book describing briefly all commodities and some of the critical information needed to trade them. I am an Agricultural Producer and the areas that involve those commodities are very short in comparison to the other commodities and don't provide any real specific or detailed information.

I would recommend the book to any one interested in trading any commodity but ag commodities, because it is too brief on this subject.

Commodities - Basic, 2007-11-23
Appreciate the author for writing such a great book for dummies like me on commodities.

Few pros:
1. Simple real life examples on call and put options (future contracts) helped me understand the concept in couple of hours. I was trying to understanding this concept for a week atleast.

2. Flow of the books is really good, you feel like not to leave the book in between.

3. Best to read from start to finish on multiple days with appropriate gaps in between. (If you are too busy !). A great book for week end study.

Cons:
None
