Commodities - Basic

Appreciate the author for writing such a great book for dummies like me on commodities. Few pros: 1. Simple real life examples on call and put options (future contracts) helped me understand the concept in couple of hours. I was trying to understanding this concept for a week atleast. 2. Flow of the books is really good, you feel like not to leave the book in between. 3. Best to read from start to finish on multiple days with appropriate gaps in between. (If you are too busy !). A great book for week end study. Cons: None
