This review is from: Guide to World Commondity Markets (Guide to World Commodity Markets) (Hardcover)

I feel this book is a valuable aid for the futures speculator but only when it comes to certain things. The first thing that comes to mind is the last section of the book "World Directory of Commodity markets". In this section a huge # of Commodity exchanges are listed with vital facts such as: commodities traded, contract size, hours of the day the commodity is traded, and how to reach the exchange. Exchanges range from places like Bolsa Brasiliera de Futuros in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil to the Chicago Board of Trade. This section is valuable and comprehensive. The first two sections of the book gave some info on individual commodities such as Sugar and Silver but I did not find this information to be anything exceptional or extremely usefull. I wish the last third of this book was sold by itself for a third of the price.
