Review of "A
Trader's First Book on Commodities" by Richard Stooker
This book lives up to its title pretty well. If you've wondered
about trading commodities and futures, this is a good
introduction.
Do not expect or plan to start trading after you read it. She
doesn't pretend to tell you how to trade to make lots of money. She
gives you the basics so you at least know the terminology and how
these markets work.
I would haggle a little bit. She mentions a few times that when
you trade futures you can lose more money than you
actually put at risk, but I don't believe she doesn't stress it
enough.
I suspect that many
people, who want to trade to make money because they're desperate,
don't understand that one trade can very wrong can wipe them
out...

Carley Garner's upcoming book, "A Trader's First Book on

commodities trading, commodities being bulk goods traded on a

The decision to trade online or through a full service broker will undoubtedly make a large impact on your bottom line. However, the impact may or may not be what you had in mind. If you aren’t ready to begin placing your orders online on your own, despite saving money on commission it may be the most costly mistake that you ever make. 
Deciding on a brokerage firm is a significant decision and shouldn’t be taken lightly. Before committing to a firm it is imperative that you research their services, experience, trading platforms and commission structure but more importantly whether your trading style and personality will be compatible. For example, a beginning trader shouldn’t look to a deep discount online brokerage firm simply because they likely won’t get the guidance that they will need as a novice. Similarly, a seasoned trader wouldn’t want to choose a firm that focuses on high-end service with a hefty price tag.
