The place to start if you know nothing about commodities

This is an excellent book for someone just learning about commodities. It is a step by step process that leads the reader down the road to reality about speculating in commodities. There are no promises of rewards or failures but explains in detail the potential of what can be gained by astute studying.

An excellent primer, thorough & insightful; without jargon.

Having looked at many other books since reading Huff I can say this is the best beginners book. It lays out a simple story version of one person's introduction to futures. It provides resource and recipe. The book though dated by time is not lessened in the lesson. I recommend this book as an excellent doorway to understanding the mechincs, mindset and playing field that all beginning traders need to be successful. The book provides insight into the psyche and emotional type that will be successful.
