Commodity Investing: Maximizing Returns Through Fundamental Analysis (Wiley Finance)2 reviews
Adam Dunsby, John Eckstein, ...
Wiley, 2008
A complex topic well done
It isn't easy to write a book about investing in commodities---the topic can seem simple but can quickly become quite complex. The authors have done a very good job. My only criticism is that I would have liked to have seen more on ETFs and strategies for trading commodities (collars, swaps, etc). But it is probably best that the authors kept it simple enough to inform without causing ...

Kevin Kerr, Agora
Wiley, 2007
Introduction 101
This is an excellent book to begin with if you are thinking of dipping your toes into the commodities arena. The broad range of topics discussed will open the beginner's eyes to commodities trading.
However, I will recommend Jim Roger's 'Hot Commodities' for a more in-depth discussion on fundamentals and Jack Schwager's 'Market Wizard' series on trading psychology. Good luck!

Commodity Fundamentals: How To Trade the Precious Metals, Energy, Grain, and Tropical Commodity Markets ...3 reviews
Ronald C. Spurga
Wiley, 2006
just an introduction
Granted, the title does say Fundamentals. And the book contains one chapter on technical analysis. But it is only one out of 25 chapters. Strictly, to a purist who wants fundamental analysis, technical stuff is voodoo. I concur. But such is the subversive allure of the technical approach to many, who might covertly glance at the recent price history of a commodity. Even while pursuing a ...
