[QUOTE="Werewolf, post: 1481081, member: 239"] Speculation is allowed because it creates liquidity in the commodity markets. Around 70% of all trading in the commodity markets is speculation. Without it the holders of contracts who actually want to take delivery of a commodity or who are the suppliers of a commodity would be trading in a non-liquid market place where if a contract needed to be modified, closed or traded it might take days or even never. The consequences of that considering the volume of real goods traded wouldn't be pretty. Take the Securities and Derivatives course at OU to learn more. [/QUOTE]
