The recent incredible run up of crude oil has brought futures trading to the forefront in the mind of investors, who may have previously never invested in commodities.
Oil is a perfect example of just how profitable this sort of investment can be. Of course, as any investor should understand, past performance doesn’t necessarily predict future performance. But, any diversified investment portfolio should have some percentage of investment in futures. The amount of that investment can only be determined by your own goals and risk comfort.
