Jimmy J asked:

Having invested in stocks for quite sometime, I am thinking to get into the commodity trading world. As a beginner in futures and options on futures, I would like to seek advice on the names of brokerage firms for such investment. I wonder what are the most popular online commodity brokerage firms (like TDAmeritrade for stocks) for setting up “self-directed” accounts with reasonable commissions, fees and requirements for opening accounts. Many thanks.

boxer111 asked:

Why do they do so when normally they have greater expertize than you-to guess the future drops? Is it that they do this ONLY when THEY don’t sense any future falls, and that-is-why they lend you cause it is you who are taking the risk and they will anyhow get their share of money even if you fail. In situations when they also sense the future fall, will they give you the shares then also, for short selling when they themselves can do the same for complete profit.
