Comment: Timely and concise, this book is packed with relevant information without going into extraneous and unnecessary detail. This book is a great, no-nonsense "how- to" reference guide, written by a competent practitioner for an investor.

Summary: Great Information In An Easy to Read and Understand Manner
Date: 2007-12-22 -
Comment: I rate this book 5 star because it provided me with tons of information in an easy to read and understand manner. The book is broken down into three different parts. Section is made up of several chapters that focuses on why we are in a commodity bull market, how the futures markets actually work( I finally got understand!) and some myths and misconceptions about the markets. This chapter alone( about myths and misconceptions) is well worth the read.
The second part of the book looks at the different ways of particiapting in the markets...it has a chapter for commodity ETFS, commodity futures, commodity mutual funds, and commodity stocks.
The last part of the book looks at some different ways of participating. This was one part of the book that i was confused about. The section was titled strategies, but it seemed to be somewhat vague about the specigics. Nonetheless, this section has an excellent chapter on gold that I highly recommend. Overall, the author does a great job of introducing me to a wide array of topics surrounding the commodity markets

Summary: good for the complete novice, but ...
Date: 2007-11-17 - 
Comment: not really much insight, e.g., it advises buying commodities etf but does not explain why some oil etfs fail to closely track oil price increase,
but if you are a complete novice to commodities trading, this book will be a good introduction, though not indepth enough

Summary: Just scratching the surface
Date: 2007-11-01 -
Comment: A book that just touches on the basics. A few good insights though. His future out look for commodities I feel is spot on. I think Jim Rogers covers commodities from different angles and gives the reader a more in depth understanding for the case of commodities.

Summary: Golden
Date: 2007-10-30 -
Comment: After spending the last 10 years investing in stocks and seeing the rapid climb in commodity prices, I wanted to learn more about the markets and how to profit from the move. After seeing Mr. Balarie on many business channels I decided to pick up his book, and I am glad I did.
Balarie starts the book with his opinion that the commodity bull-run is far from over while highlighting many key drivers to support the sustainability of the rally.
What I found the most beneficial was where he goes into the many ways to investment in commodities and the inherent risks involved.
If you are interested in commodities this is a must read.
