> there are SO many people and organisations that touch the commodity in some form

and 99.9% of those people are a joke and don’t even realize it. commodities traders are the most gullible lot I’ve ever encountered, chasing a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. they’re so dumb as they cannot tell reality from fiction.



I don't think you know much about how commodities are traded. Can you even name the main players?


Explain more?


There is a shadow economy full of people chasing fake commodity trades. There’s nothing more to explain.


> they’re so dumb as they cannot tell reality from fiction

Ya know, here in the US we just found out that nearly have of our population and our last president have this problem. Maybe they should move into trading commodities?


the answer is yes its the same current of people and it is global

Think of it like real estate agents, but without even the bare minimum of the license. You have people with no marketable skills, no formal education, no success at anything else all chasing commissions. Its going to be a circus.
