Stendahl Notes:
As you might expect Caroline Bain, Senior Commodities Editor with The Economist, has done a phenomenal job detailing all you need to know about a wide variety of commodity markets. It’s not a trading book so don’t think systems … think commodity background. Bottom line you better know a little more about the markets you trade than just indicators and patters.
