Ich möche hier mal einen Rohstoffinfothread ins Leben rufen, in dem wir alle Informationen, die den Handel mit irgendwelchen Rohstoffen ( Agrar, Energie, Metalle....), zusammentragen können....
Druch den Post von Laki in meinem CMC-Thread bin ich auf diese Idee gekommen, mal schauen, einen Versuch ist es ja wert.....

Btw Abn wird den Handel mit Rohstoffen deutlich ausweiten und einige neue Basiswerte aus diesem Bereich neu aufnehmen (noch vor Aktien-CFD´s)...

Mache mit Lakis Post gleich mal den Anfang :

MF Global Says Unauthorized Bets Lost $141.5 Million (Update3)

By David Scheer

Feb. 28 (Bloomberg) -- MF Global Inc., the world's largest broker of exchange-traded futures and options contracts, said it set aside $141.5 million to cover an employee's losses after he ``substantially exceeded'' trading limits in his own account.

MF Global fell as much as 23 percent in New York trading, the biggest drop since the company went public, after the firm said an order-entry system failure permitted ``unauthorized'' trades in wheat futures markets yesterday morning. As a clearing member, the firm is responsible for settling the trades, the Hamilton, Bermuda-based company said in a statement.

``The registered representative concerned has been terminated effective immediately,'' MF Global said in the statement. ``Client funds are not at all impacted by this event.'' The company said the unidentified trader worked in a U.S. branch office.

MF Global, led by Chief Executive Officer Kevin Davis, is at least the second firm this year to attribute trading losses to the illicit activities of a single employee. Societe Generale SA, France's second-biggest bank, said Jan. 24 that trader Jerome Kerviel lost 4.9 billion-euros ($7.4 billion) by taking positions on European stock market indexes and then falsifying documents and e-mails to pretend the bets were hedged.

``All it takes is somebody with enough understanding of how these trading, settlement and risk-management systems fit together and where the gaps are to create a problem,'' said Adam Honore, an analyst at Boston-based financial services consulting firm Aite Group LLC. ``SocGen was another example, and this is not going to be the last.''

CME Statement

While Kerviel has admitted to exceeding authorized limits and falsifying hedges, he says the company was aware of his actions.

MF Global fell $5.63, or 19.2 percent, to $23.65 at 10:32 a.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading. The shares are down about 26 percent this year.

CME Group Inc., owner of the world's largest futures exchange, issued a statement today ``concerning firm proprietary trading activity in the wheat futures market.'' CME said MF Global ``has met and continues to meet its obligations'' and ``remains in good standing as a clearing member of the exchange.''

Volatility in U.S. wheat futures has surged as prices more that doubled in the past year on the Chicago Board of Trade, capped by unprecedented price changes yesterday.

Wheat rose the most ever to the seventh record high this month, then fell by the exchange-imposed daily limit before rising again by the maximum allowed. The 25 percent rally from the day's low to its high was bigger than all but seven annual price increases for wheat since 1973.

Price Swings

Wheat has more than doubled in the past year as the world's farmers failed to keep pace with rising demand, eroding inventories. The rally fueled food inflation with higher costs for Italian pasta, Japanese noodles, French baguettes and Kellogg Co. cereals.

Wheat futures for May delivery yesterday rose by the trading limit of $1.35, or 11 percent, to a record $13.495 a bushel, then plunged by the trading limit to $10.795, before rebounding again to the record, a $2.70 swing.

The daily price-change limit, the biggest ever for the exchange, was raised after wheat rose the previous maximum of 90 cents yesterday, which was set after wheat jumped the earlier limit of 60 cents on Feb. 25. Before Feb. 11, the limit had been 30 cents.

MF Global, formerly the brokerage unit of Man Group Plc, the world's largest publicly traded hedge fund manager, was spun off in a $2.92 billion initial public offering in July. Man Group retained an 18.6 percent stake in the company.

Moin moin,

es gibt ja Leute die wollen an der Rohstoff-Hausse teilhaben, aber OS und Turbos sind ihnen zu riskant.

Es gibt mittlerweile auch eine Menge Zertifikate auf Rohstoffe die aber t.w. mit total unterschiedlichen Taxierungen und Bedingungen ausgestattet sind.

Wer sich diesbezüglich informieren will ( auch über Grundsätzliche Einschätzungen und Kurse ) sollte mal im Zertifikateboard reinschauen.

www.zertifikate-board.de

Dort gibt es diverse Threads zu allen möglichen Rohstoffen und auch Minenbetreibern usw.

Ich muß zu meiner Schande gestehen das dort mehrfach zum "FreeLunch"
für Platin geklingelt wurde und ich mich nicht an den gedeckten Tisch gesetzt habe....
Na zumindest bin ich in Gold ganz gut dabei.....

Quantum's Jim Rogers says US 'out of control' Leo Lewis, Asia Business Correspondent
Jim Rogers - who co-founded the now closed Quantum Fund with George Soros - told 750 global fund managers in Tokyo today that, America is “completely out of control”, there will be a 20-year bull market in commodities and that prices will be in turmoil.

And he also warned that it “made sense” if global competition for resources ended in armed conflict.

Mr Rogers told delegates to the CLSA investment forum that the prices of all agricultural products would “explode” in coming years and that the price of gold, which hit an all-time high of $964 an ounce yesterday, will continue its surge to as much as $3,500 an ounce.
Gold would continue to rise, the analyst Christopher Wood told fund managers, “because it is the exact opposite of a structured finance product”.

Nissan and Honda chiefs clash over US recession
US house price crash makes recession 'inevitable'
Is George Soros right that economy is doomed?
In a blistering attack on US monetary policy and the “helicopter cash drop” responses of the Federal Reserve, Mr Rogers described the American dollar as a “terribly flawed currency”.

He said that the plan by Ben Bernanke, the Fed Chairman, to “crank up the money-printing machines and run them until we run out of trees” had exposed America’s weakest point to her rivals and enemies.

The dollar may have declined recently, he added, “but you ain’t seen nothing yet”.

Talking to a room almost exclusively populated with Japan-focused equity investors, Mr Rogers recommended an immediate language course in Mandarin and a switch into commodities — the second-biggest market in the world behind foreign exchange.

Mr Rogers said that historic drains on wheat, corn and other soft commodity inventories have created market dynamics that could lead to severe food shortages.

The outlook over the next two decades would see prices of everything from cotton and sugar to lead and nickel “going through the roof”.

Heavily playing down the prospects of a big recovery in Japan, Mr Rogers said that the country’s demographics — as the fastest-ageing country in the world — would cause it greater problems and an ever-diminishing quality of life for ordinary Japanese.

But he also said that other countries — including Britain, Italy, China and the US — should take note of what their own demographics would look like without the effect of immigration.

“Japan will be the perfect laboratory for the world to watch how a demographic crisis plays out,” he said
