Commodities are very risky and in order to dissipate risk you will need a sizable portfolio. The safes and most strategic way is to diversify through Commodity based Mutual Funds or even better Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). Check out ticker: DBC. Best of Luck

If you think the market for oil commodities is going south (= is going to drop), then you sell them now.  (Yes, even if you don't own them, you can sell them and receive the going price.)  Then, to close the position, you must buy them back before the option expires.  If you're right (about the price dropping), then you will be buying them back at a lower price and can pocket the difference.\n\nWork with a reputable broker, they will explain in great detail the risks associated with this often employed investing principle.

You could ask this question every day and you would get a different answer every single time.  Learn to trade the markets for yourself and dont rely on hot tips from friends or websites. At least if you learn a bit you can evaluate if someones' idea holds any water.

Just Google or Yahoo search gold bullion. There are a lot of markets, but some are futures and some are syndicates or associations that sell you a share of their value, not gold itself. Most small quantities of gold are sold as coins.\n\nSee, for example: http://www.bulliondirect.com/catalog/home.do;jsessionid=F197EC28F228F08EFC252A22BAC41FDF

You need to subscribe to an intraday commodity price feed.  Some brokers also offer you the ability to view intraday pries and depth as long as you have an account with them.\n\nNote that live, intraday prices usually incur live data royalties too.\n\neg. eSignal, Interactive Brokers\n\nSee the links below

You're insane.  Buy commodities as a diversifier and inflation hedge only, and as part of a larger diversifed portfolio.  They should make up no more than 5-10% of your portfolio, depending on your personal risk tolerance.  They are VERY volatile, so keep that in mind.  The best way to do it is through a diversifed commodities fund, like the DWS Scudder Commodity Securities Fund.\n\nHope this helps!\n--J.

I have been trading gold and gold related companies since 2001. I suggest that everyone have 10% of their investable monies in physical gold. The problem is making sure you get the right price. The best price I know if via www.coloradogold.com. These are near wholesale prices, but you have to buy in quantity to get the best price. call for quanities. Don, the dealer, is very reputable but you'll have to send him a check and it takes weeks to get product. Other than that, check local coin dealers. It is important to find a dealer who gives you a reasonable price, and is someone you don't mind doing business with. Other than that, there are many dealers on the web, but the prices can vary such as kitco.com, blanchardonline.com...Also you can their are ETF's on the stock exchanges that track gold, such as street Tracks (symbol GLD). When you buy one share of GLD, theoretically you are buying one/tenth and ounce of gold they are holding in the vault. Just note, that you never see the vault. Gold in your hand can be trusted. And, finally, buying shares of gold mining companies such as NEM, NG, AUY, GG, etc. is 'like' buyin gold. However, when gold prices go up, gold company shares tend to outperform gold, and when gold prices go down, they go down worse. So, they are more volatile. I cover some of these topics, and other investment topics periodically on my blog:\n\nhttp://gmoolah.blogspot.com

It is a commodity like oil.  The price is determined by the market (supply and demand).
