The stock market is world-renowned for making smart investors rich, and ill-informed investors poor. Although newcomers may be intimidated by its sheer size and reputation as a trading market, actually getting involved is far easier than you might expect.

The market operates much like a living entity. When all parts are combined, it makes a formidable creature.

Often billed as the arena for the trader’s trader, energy futures display certain fundamentals that set them apart from other commodities trading. Indeed, very literally what  fuels the world, energy futures trading is a game with high stakes, as it deals in non-renewable resources.

Sugar and wheat can be seasonally cultivated, but oil and gas reserves need to be discovered and extracted as a single project before moving on. Once lifted, oil, gas and coal will never be replenished in a meaningful time frame. As a result, these commodities remain highly desirable and are readily impacted by global events.
