Customer Reviews

A good reference of futures market and commodities

The book tells the CBOT history and has tecnical information about the major commodities trader there ( agricultural, financial and energy ), including specifications, top producers and consumers. It helps to understand the market functioning and principal tools, like futures contracts and options, although dont't has useful technics about how to evaluate the prices or the market beaviour. It's a good reference book of futures market.
