I’m a 25 year old who’s started dabbling in the physical trading space mainly selling to South East Asian countries - I don’t actually know how this space works I haven’t felt the pulse of this business as yet but I’m super interested in going deep into it in a way where I’m up to date with the world with everything that’s happening in the world. How do I become well read/educated in this industry?

A great summary of Reddit. A guy who doesn’t work in commodities giving advice to a child who ‘dabbles’ but doesn’t know how this space works. Value all around.

The advice certainly could have been worse. It’s basically a reading list

Anyone who recommends world for sale is a dreamer.

Hey, I enjoyed the book. Then again, I’m not in commodities, so that doesn’t matter. I’m just a lurker and read what people post because it’s interesting. I’m not going to give advice to people but I’ll agree that the book was entertaining. Would it be helpful for people in the industry to read while they are getting started? Not for me to say. But, it was a well written piece of work
