CommodityTrader.com provides a unique content-rich website, to distribute knowledge for guiding a commodity trader towards more successful investment results, with less risk and a greater understanding of the Futures Markets.
The Concept:
Many people think that commodity futures markets are just about speculating or “gambling.” While it is true that futures markets can be used for speculating, that is not the primary reason for their existence. Commodity Futures markets are actually designed as vehicles for hedging and risk management, that is, to help people avoid “gambling” when they don’t want to.
The Problem:
Commodity Futures markets have experienced unprecedented growth in trading volume over the past two decades, reflecting the investing public’s confidence in the integrity of these institutions. Unfortunately, too few individuals have acquired proficiency at trading. Inexperienced traders with unrealistic goals, are seriously under-performing the market, exposing their capital to unnecessary risk. Market regulators are becoming concerned about the potential risk to global capital markets as well as the personal losses involved.
The Solution:
CommodityTrader.com has developed an information solution website for collaboration of traders, called a “Collective “Blog ”. It’s a dynamic, interactive web-community of people who share an interest in the various diverse categories of futures, options and commodities.
CommodityTrader.com is built on a revolutionary “publishing platform” called Movable Type™ (MT), which fosters collaboration amongst writers and readers. Contributed articles grow the website simultaneously by readers posting comments or questions, which are then published with responses from the authors and other readers. MT software also produces News Feeds (content) for syndication to other websites via RSS (i.e. real simple syndication).
The Opportunity:
CommodityTrader.com is capitalizing on the growth of the financial information sector of the Internet by developing, promoting, and maintaining a Blog on www.CommodityTrader.com. The Company earns revenues from selling online advertising to financial institutions (banks, brokerages, exchanges, data vendors and investment houses) and is committed to providing its advertising partners with a competitively priced, flexible, feature-rich suite of audited advertising products that deliver high levels of exposure and response.
State of Blogging:
By the end of 2004 blogs had established themselves as a key part of online culture. Two surveys by the Pew Internet & American Life Project in November established new contours for the blogosphere: 8 million American adults say they have created blogs; blog readership jumped 58% in 2004 and now stands at 27% of internet users; 5% of internet users say they use RSS aggregators or XML readers to get the news and other information delivered from blogs and content-rich Web sites as it is posted online; and 12% of internet users have posted comments or other material on blogs. Still, 62% of Internet users do not know what a blog is.
