8. lol, yeah - likewise most of what i know I learned from Trading Places
But what I don't understand, is why people can invest in commodities that they do not intend to take delivery of. All that does is enable people to gamble on the price of commodities, making the price fluctuate wildly. I thought the whole point of a commodities market was to make the price more stable, by allowing those who actually take delivery and use (or sell) the actual commodity to set a fair market price for said commodity.
