Guide to Livestock and Meat Commodity Market


How to trade livestock commodities as part of your investment plan


Hog and cattle commodities give you another trading option when considering your investment plan. Commodity markets exchange raw or primary products with standardized contracts for the future delivery of physical raw materials. You invest in the probability of a good crop or livestock season.

Financial advisers recommend investing just partially in commodities such as meats futures since they are a risky investment. Many factors such as weather, feed, breeding patterns and the national economy can affect the season and the price of the stock. Stay on top of the national changes in market prices and trends and you'll have a better change of profiting from risky commodities.

To be successful in trading within the livestock and meat commodity market:

1. Monitor news and changes in the meat commodities market.

2. Check livestock commodities indexes daily to stay on top of the market.

3. Use a broker or dealer to help you trade meat commodities futures efficiently.

Action Steps

The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Learn about livestock market commodities Follow local, national and worldwide news reports to make more informed decisions about the commodities you choose to trade. The more you know about the industry the better you will do in the market. Be as involved as possible with your monetary investments, even if you trust a broker to manage your stocks and futures for you.

I recommend:  Read market research reports and newsletters like Investor's Daily Edge to understand what's happening in the livestock industry. Get the official USDA livestock world market analysis and Chicago Board of Trade commodity news and predictions to make sure you're on top of the market trends and news.

Develop an investment plan to include hog or cattle commodities Use price charts and predictions to decide how much you want to invest in the livestock and meat commodity market. Financial advisers recommend not spending more than 3 to 10% of your total investment funds on commodities since they are riskier and more volatile than stocks. Choose your futures carefully and start small to avoid too much risk.

I recommend:  Research commodity brokers online to see which may work best for your situation. Check livestock-futures.com to learn how factors such as feeding, breeding and other factors can affect the price of stocks and futures. Browse CNN Money or MSN Money for daily and weekly charts, trends and prices to help you plan your investments.

Trade online or partner with a livestock market dealer or broker Decide whether you want to trade meat commodities yourself or hire a broker to do it for you. If you're new to the commodity market you may find a broker easier to work with until you better understand the market. Brokers follow trends, news and predictions to give you expert opinions and suggestions.

I recommend:  Contact Lind-Waldock in Chicago for meats futures trading advice and the ability to trade online or get broker assistance. Try GFT Futures and Go Futures for free to decide if you like the format of online trading. If you prefer to work directly with a broker consider a midwestern firm close to the livestock and meat commodity market, like Peacock Trading.
