Commodities, Currencies and the Economy

SocialTwist Tell-a-Friend
barronsI love to read.  

Douglas Sereda a partner of mine here at Trading Post and our vp of advisory services alerted me to the cover story of Barron's this week, entitled "Commodities: Who's Behind the Boom?" 

In the accompanying online video, the articles author Gene Epstein commented that none of the experts he spoke with dared say this is a top in the commodities market.

Unless you have been living in a cave, you have noticed the global commodities spike. We are rabid consumers of commodities in varying forms. Epstein stirs interest which leaves you wondering where this market is going.

Not only that, but trading Forex consistently and successfully is almost always greatly supplemented by knowing how currencies are correlated with other financial markets. That is why it's so important for Trading Post to continue to evolve as more that just a "Forex" trading company.
