What I can recommend is Dave Megar the metals primary trader at Alaron. I have an account thrre. He also likes to trade bonds and did pretty well, pulling gold off the table right at the last expiry. Not perfect but he hedged with calls and did not get hurt on this swoon down at all. His number if you need a broker is 800 935-6484 He knows me as Mike Shedlock mot mish BTW - the way my acct is setup you can trade these in an IRA if you wish - long or short M

Paul: A good introductory book on trading commodities is Alex Elder's "Trading for a Living". It includes quite a lot on the need to control emotions while trading (Elder is a shrink!), as well as all the basics on indicators, money management, methodical systems, etc. A good read... Martin Pring's and John Murphy's introductory books on TA are also very good. In terms of actual trading, I've had very good experience with my discount broker (over 20 years). PM me if you're interested. Most brokerages have extensive online information on the mechanics of trading. And BTW, I endorse Russ' suggestion to buy corn! Also, copper has just "broken out". But it's essential to do your own DD, learn the mechanics of trading, and most of all to post sufficient trading capital in your account -- maybe 3 or 4 times the margin requirement, depending on your style, diversification, etc., etc. Best of luck!
