How To
How to invest In Commodities
Investing in commodities means buying physical assets such as oil fields, mines, or plantations and then selling them at higher prices. This process is called commodity trade.
Commodity investing works on the principle that a commodity's price rises as demand increases. When demand for a product decreases, the price usually falls.
If you believe the price will increase, then you want to purchase it. You don't want to sell anything if the market falls.
There are three major types of commodity investors: hedgers, speculators and arbitrageurs.
A speculator would buy a commodity because he expects that its price will rise. He doesn't care what happens if the value falls. For example, someone might own gold bullion. Or someone who is an investor in oil futures.
A "hedger" is an investor who purchases a commodity in the belief that its price will fall. Hedging is a way of protecting yourself from unexpected changes in the price. If you have shares in a company that produces widgets and the price drops, you may want to hedge your position with shorting (selling) certain shares. This is where you borrow shares from someone else and then replace them with yours. The hope is that the price will fall enough to compensate. It is easiest to shorten shares when stock prices are already falling.
The third type, or arbitrager, is an investor. Arbitragers trade one item to acquire another. For example, you could purchase coffee beans directly from farmers. Or you could invest in futures. Futures allow the possibility to sell coffee beans later for a fixed price. Although you are not required to use the coffee beans in any way, you have the option to sell them or keep them.
You can buy something now without spending more than you would later. So, if you know you'll want to buy something in the future, it's better to buy it now rather than wait until later.
But there are risks involved in any type of investing. One risk is that commodities could drop unexpectedly. Another is that the value of your investment could decline over time. These risks can be reduced by diversifying your portfolio so that you have many types of investments.
Another factor to consider is taxes. When you are planning to sell your investments you should calculate how much tax will be owed on the profits.
Capital gains taxes should be considered if your investments are held for longer than one year. Capital gains taxes only apply to profits after an investment has been held for over 12 months.
If you don't expect to hold your investments long term, you may receive ordinary income instead of capital gains. You pay ordinary income taxes on the earnings that you make each year.
You can lose money investing in commodities in the first few decades. However, your portfolio can grow and you can still make profit.
