How To
How to invest in commodities
Investing means purchasing physical assets such as mines, oil fields and plantations and then selling them later for higher prices. This process is called commodity trade.
Commodity investing is based on the theory that the price of a certain asset increases when demand for that asset increases. The price tends to fall when there is less demand for the product.
If you believe the price will increase, then you want to purchase it. You don't want to sell anything if the market falls.
There are three major categories of commodities investor: speculators; hedgers; and arbitrageurs.
A speculator buys a commodity because he thinks the price will go up. He doesn't care whether the price falls. One example is someone who owns bullion gold. Or someone who invests on oil futures.
An investor who buys a commodity because he believes the price will fall is a "hedger." Hedging is a way of protecting yourself from unexpected changes in the price. If you are a shareholder in a company making widgets, and the value of widgets drops, then you might be able to hedge your position by selling (or shorting) some shares. By borrowing shares from other people, you can replace them by yours and hope the price falls enough to make up the difference. It is easiest to shorten shares when stock prices are already falling.
An "arbitrager" is the third type. Arbitragers trade one item to acquire another. For instance, if you're interested in buying coffee beans, you could buy coffee beans directly from farmers, or you could buy coffee futures. Futures allow you to sell the coffee beans later at a fixed price. Although you are not required to use the coffee beans in any way, you have the option to sell them or keep them.
The idea behind all this is that you can buy things now without paying more than you would later. So, if you know you'll want to buy something in the future, it's better to buy it now rather than wait until later.
There are risks associated with any type of investment. There is a risk that commodity prices will fall unexpectedly. Another risk is the possibility that your investment's price could decline in the future. These risks can be reduced by diversifying your portfolio so that you have many types of investments.
Another thing to think about is taxes. 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 taxes should be considered if your investments are held for longer than one 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 anticipate holding your investments long-term, ordinary income may be available instead of capital gains. On earnings you earn each fiscal year, ordinary income tax applies.
When you invest in commodities, you often lose money in the first few years. As your portfolio grows, you can still make some money.
