How To
How to invest and trade commodities
Investing is the purchase of physical assets such oil fields, mines and plantations. Then, you sell them at higher prices. This is known as commodity trading.
Commodity investing is based on the theory that the price of a certain asset increases when demand for that asset increases. When demand for a product decreases, the price usually falls.
If you believe the price will increase, then you want to purchase it. You want to sell it when you believe the market will decline.
There are three major categories of commodities investor: speculators; hedgers; and arbitrageurs.
A speculator purchases a commodity when he believes that the price will rise. He doesn't care if the price falls later. One example is someone who owns bullion gold. Or, someone who invests into oil futures contracts.
An investor who believes that the commodity's price will drop is called a "hedger." Hedging allows you to hedge against any unexpected price changes. If you own shares that are part of a widget company, and the price of widgets falls, you might consider shorting (selling some) those shares to hedge your position. This means that you borrow shares and replace them using yours. When the stock is already falling, shorting shares works well.
A third type is the "arbitrager". Arbitragers trade one thing to get another thing they prefer. For example, if you want to purchase coffee beans you have two options: either you can buy directly from farmers or you can buy coffee futures. Futures let you sell coffee beans at a fixed price later. While you don't have to use the coffee beans right away, you can decide whether to keep them or to sell them later.
You can buy something now without spending more than you would later. If you know that you'll need to buy something in future, it's better not to wait.
Any type of investing comes with risks. One risk is that commodities could drop unexpectedly. Another risk is that your investment value could decrease over time. This can be mitigated by diversifying the portfolio to include different types and types of investments.
Taxes are another factor you should consider. You must calculate how much tax you will owe on your profits if you intend to sell your investments.
If you're going to hold your investments longer than a year, you should also consider capital gains taxes. Capital gains taxes do not apply to profits made after an investment has been held more than 12 consecutive months.
If you don't expect to hold your investments long term, you may receive ordinary income instead of capital gains. Earnings you earn each year are subject to ordinary income taxes
You can lose money investing in commodities in the first few decades. You can still make a profit as your portfolio grows.
