Rating:  Summary: Futures 101, An Introduction to Commodity Trading Review: As a trading novice, I was looking for a book that would clearly explain commodity trading. This book gives the reader exactly that. It was easy to understand. The writer used an interesting writing style that was easy to follow. This book was just what I was looking for. Thank you Mr. Waldron.
Rating:  Summary: Leave Hillary out of it!!!! Review: I truly enjoyed 95% of this book and found it to be an incredibly simply written and easily understandable beginning text. My only complaint is that there is a multi-page (17 page) examination of Hillary Clinton's commodity investments of the late 70's, during which Waldron does some of the most partisan campaigning that I have ever read. I dont know whether she did anything wrong or not. Frankly, not reall interested. But please stop telling me how innocent she is. Other than that--really good book.
Rating:  Summary: For Rank Beginners or Grade School Students. Review: If you have no experience in any market, this book is for you. Takes 2 hours to read/skim. I learned a little about the background of commodities. Book is also annoying to read because of it's unorthodox style of font (block lettering), strange page layout (Sentences are sometimes indented in a ladder-style, like poetry), and repeating of information. Find a meater text.

Rating:  Summary: Future 101: An Introduction to Commodiy Trading(1999 Edition Review: It explains commodity trading in a very simple way.This book taught me more than I could ever manage by poring over numerous web sites.A very good book for beginners.
Rating:  Summary: Great for neophytes. Review: Neophytes will not find a better explanation of the futures market. How it works, what it is, terms and what they mean. The guy has a gift for explaining what could be confusing in a very straight forward manner that will also stick in your head. You learn more than you think.
I do find the typewriter look to the text annoying. Which is why it is only 4 stars.
And this is a book for someone knowing little or nothing about the futures or commodity markets. But it will get you up to speed very quickly and painlessly.
Rating:  Summary: A good general overview of commodity futures trading. Review: This book is for those who know nothing or virtually nothing about commodity futures. If you already know even a little about commodity futures, this book is not for you. It is just a foundation. You will not be ready to trade commodity futures after you read this book (and the author does not pretend that you will be), but you will be ready to go on to more in-depth research. The book is light, quick reading.
