Commodities Rising by Jeffrey M.Christian

Forex Trading – Foreign Exchange Course

You want to learn about Forex?

Foreign exchange, or forex, is the conversion of one country’s currency into another.
In a free economy, a country’s currency is valued according to the laws of supply and demand.
In other words, a currency’s value can be pegged to another country’s currency, such as the U.S. dollar, or even to a basket of currencies.
A country’s currency value may also be set by the country’s government.
However, most countries float their currencies freely against those of other countries, which keeps them in constant fluctuation.

Commodities Rising, which is both a memoir and an investing advice, offers a distinctive and useful viewpoint based on a very diverse range of professional experiences.

— Donald F. Larson, Senior Economist at the World Bank

“Jeffrey Christian’s new book is smart and perceptive and draws on his 25 years of expertise in the commodity market. Christian dispels a number of common fallacies about the commodity market. Recently, there has been a significant underinvestment in commodities research. Any investor who wants to steer clear of the hazards associated with investing in physical commodities should read his book.

Terrence F. Martell, PhD, is a public governor of the New York Board of Trade and a Saxe Distinguished Professor of Finance at Baruch College, CUNY.

“If you’ve read one of the most recent books about the ‘commodity mania,’ you’ll value the more meticulous, in-depth analysis Christian gives here. You’ll be persuaded by his tales and analyses that this is genuinely an insider’s opinion.

A.G. Edwards & Sons, Inc. Vice President and Director of Futures Research Peter A. Biebel

“In addition to being comprehensive, Christian’s work is quite readable and presents commodities concerns from a variety of perspectives. I urge everybody who is interested in commodities to read this book, and I also urge those who are still learning about the topic to have a look. There will be substantial intellectual and possibly monetary benefits.
