How To
How to invest and trade commodities
Investing in commodities means buying physical assets such as oil fields, mines, or plantations and then selling them at higher prices. This is known as commodity trading.
The theory behind commodity investing is that the price of an asset rises when there is more demand. The price will usually fall if there is less demand.
You will buy something if you think it will go up in price. You would rather sell it if the market is declining.
There are three main types of commodities investors: speculators (hedging), arbitrageurs (shorthand) and hedgers (shorthand).
A speculator would buy a commodity because he expects that its price will rise. He doesn't care what happens if the value falls. An example would be someone who owns gold bullion. Or someone who is an investor in oil futures.
An investor who buys a commodity because he believes the price will fall is a "hedger." Hedging is an investment strategy that protects you against sudden changes in the value of your investment. If you own shares in a company that makes widgets, but the price of widgets drops, you might want to hedge your position by shorting (selling) some of those shares. That means you borrow shares from another person and replace them with yours, hoping the price will drop enough to make up the difference. If the stock has fallen already, it is best to shorten shares.
The third type, or arbitrager, is an investor. Arbitragers trade one thing to get another thing they prefer. If you're looking to buy coffee beans, you can either purchase direct from farmers or invest in coffee futures. Futures enable you to sell coffee beans later at a fixed rate. While you don't have to use the coffee beans right away, you can decide whether to keep them or to sell them later.
This is because you can purchase things now and not pay more later. If you know that you'll need to buy something in future, it's better not to wait.
But there are risks involved in any type of investing. One risk is the possibility that commodities prices may fall unexpectedly. Another possibility is that your investment's worth could fall over time. These risks can be minimized by diversifying your portfolio and including different types of investments.
Taxes should also be considered. It is important to calculate the tax that you will have to pay on any profits you make when you sell your investments.
Capital gains tax is required for investments that are held longer than one calendar year. Capital gains taxes do not apply to profits made after an investment has been held more than 12 consecutive months.
If you don’t intend to hold your investments over the long-term, you might receive ordinary income rather than capital gains. On earnings you earn each fiscal year, ordinary income tax applies.
Investing in commodities can lead to a loss of money within the first few years. You can still make a profit as your portfolio grows.
