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 process is called commodity trading.
Commodity investing works on the principle that a commodity's price rises as demand increases. The price will usually fall if there is less demand.
When you expect the price to rise, you will want to buy it. You would rather sell it if the market is declining.
There are three types of commodities investors: arbitrageurs, hedgers and speculators.
A speculator is someone who buys commodities because he believes that the prices will rise. He doesn't care what happens if the value falls. An example would be someone who owns gold bullion. Or someone who is an investor in oil futures.
An investor who invests in a commodity to lower its price is known as a "hedger". Hedging is a way of protecting yourself from unexpected changes in the price. If you own shares of a company that makes widgets but the price drops, it might be a good idea to shorten (sell) some shares. By borrowing shares from other people, you can replace them by yours and hope the price falls enough to make up the difference. It is easiest to shorten shares when stock prices are already falling.
A third type is the "arbitrager". Arbitragers trade one thing in order to obtain another. For example, if you want to purchase coffee beans you have two options: either you can buy directly from farmers or you can buy coffee futures. Futures let you sell coffee beans at a fixed price later. While you don't have to use the coffee beans right away, you can decide whether to keep them or to sell them later.
You can buy things right away and save money later. It's best to purchase something now if you are certain you will want it in the future.
There are risks associated with any type of investment. Unexpectedly falling commodity prices is one risk. The second risk is that your investment's value could drop over time. These risks can be reduced by diversifying your portfolio so that you have many types of investments.
Taxes should also be considered. When you are planning to sell your investments you should calculate how much tax will be owed on the profits.
If you're going to hold your investments longer than a year, you should also consider capital gains taxes. Capital gains taxes apply only to profits made after you've held an investment for more than 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.
Investing in commodities can lead to a loss of money within the first few years. You can still make a profit as your portfolio grows.
