—Sam Stovall, Chief Investment Strategist, Standard & Poor's Equity Research
"Nearly everyone realizes the impact commodities have on our lives, but very few really understand how seasonality affects pricing. The Commodity Trader's Almanac helps even a novice understand how commodity pricing works and offers great insight into investing and making money with oil, corn, and wheat. An invaluable tool."
—Jon Najarian, cofounder, OptionMONSTER.com
"The Commodity Trader's Almanac is the one source for traders that can both suggest opportunities and also keep them out of trouble. Any seasoned market veteran knows that events tend to occur again and again, maybe not exactly as they did before but close enough so that knowing about them in advance provides an edge. This book is that edge."

"I'm delighted that the publishers of the Stock Trader's Almanac have applied their winning formula to the Commodity Trader's Almanac. I have always maintained that commodities deserve more attention as a separate asset class, and they finally appear to be getting it. Given the tremendous interest in commodity markets in recent years, this book couldn't be more timely. I highly recommend it."
—John Murphy, author of Intermarket Analysis and The Visual Investor
