How To
How to invest in commodities
Investing on commodities is buying physical assets, such as plantations, oil fields, and mines, and then later selling them at higher price. This is called commodity-trading.
The theory behind commodity investing is that the price of an asset rises when there is more demand. The price tends to fall when there is less demand for the product.
When you expect the price to rise, you will want to buy it. You don't want to sell anything if the market falls.
There are three types of commodities investors: arbitrageurs, hedgers and speculators.
A speculator will buy a commodity if he believes the price will rise. He doesn't care if the price falls later. A person who owns gold bullion is an example. Or, someone who invests into oil futures contracts.
An investor who buys a commodity because he believes the price will fall is a "hedger." Hedging allows you to hedge against any unexpected price changes. If you own shares that are part of a widget company, and the price of widgets falls, you might consider shorting (selling some) those shares to hedge your position. That means you borrow shares from another person and replace them with yours, hoping the price will drop enough to make up the difference. When the stock is already falling, shorting shares works well.
An "arbitrager" is the third type. Arbitragers trade one item to acquire another. If you're looking to buy coffee beans, you can either purchase direct from farmers or invest in coffee futures. Futures allow the possibility to sell coffee beans later for a fixed price. You have no obligation actually to use the coffee beans, but you do have the right to decide whether you want to keep them or sell them later.
The idea behind all this is that you can buy things now without paying 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.
There are risks associated with any type of investment. One risk is the possibility that commodities prices may fall unexpectedly. Another is that the value of your investment could decline over time. This can be mitigated by diversifying the portfolio to include different types and types of investments.
Another thing to think about is taxes. Consider how much taxes you'll have to pay if your investments are sold.
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 intend to hold your investments over the long-term, you might receive ordinary income rather than capital gains. Earnings you earn each year are subject to ordinary income taxes
When you invest in commodities, you often lose money in the first few years. However, you can still make money when your portfolio grows.
