Good overall intro but don't expect to make a trade after reading it

Before reading this book, I barely knew how to spell commodities, much less trade them. This book gives a good high-level introduction to what the commodities market is all about and attempts to get you jazzed about the market for the coming decade. After reading the book, you'll be able to understand the commodity trading lingo and know how to read prices, but will not have enough information (nor the confidence) to make your first trade. It lacks thorough details concerning trading in general, fundamental analysis of futures, and direction on creating a trading plan. I'm currently reading Trading Commodities & Financial Futures by George Kleinman which goes into much better detail of these subjects. I certainly got a better handle on trading by reading Hot Commodities, but it's a bit novice, even for a novice.

The Guru of Commodities

My title says it all. I'm looking forward to his next book. I have read other books by different authors but Mr Rogers states the case for commodities in a way that is easy to read and understand. This and his previous books have opened my mind and changed the way I look at futures, markets, finance, and politics/politicians.
Enlightening.

Rating Jim Rogers

As a result of Jim Rogers, I've actually changed a substantial part of my portfolio. However, this is an endorsement of Jim Rogers, and not the book, "Hot Commodities." I knew no more after reading the book than I did after hearing and seeing him on TV. The message could have been summed up in about ten pages, not 255.

Good info

The book is well written,Jim is very knowledgeable and gives ways in which anyone can invest in commodities. He explains a complicated subject in laymans terms. He also describes the world today and how politics and logistics come into play, a fascinating book.

Short and sweet

It's a quick read and if you've ever seen Jim interviewed on a financial show, the book has his the no nonsense style that one would expect.

Discusses the cyclical nature of commodities markets and then goes into more detail about specific commodity selections.

If you are interested in investing alternatives as the DOW creeps up to the precipice, get and intro into commodities from Jim Rogers.
