So where do you want this oil, mate?

Article Abstract:

Anyone with access to a broker is able to trade in commodities. The commodity markets give details such as quantity, delivery date and price, and individuals can therefore react quickly without having to consider whether the asset concerned is suitable. When you purchase a commodities or future contract, the most you can actually lose is the total amount of the investment. This would be very unlikely to happen, as the investor would usually have the opportunity to follow the price down and recoup at least some of the investment.

Keeping track of Footsie rules

Article Abstract:

FTSE International, which controls the FTSE indices, is to change the rules by which the indices are run. From Jun 2001, all indices will calculate the relative importance of companies in line with how many stocks are freely available for buying and selling. Meanwhile, companies that are subsidiaries partly owned by other companies listed on the London Stock Exchange can be included in the FTSE 100 index. Critics argue that there will still be too much reliance among investors on a few large companies.
