T & K Futures and Options Believes that Quantitative Easing Will Lead to Many Years of Higher Commodity Prices











Port Saint Lucie, FL (PRWEB) November 17, 2010

The Federal Reserve chairman recently announced another round of quantitative easing. The market knows that the currency printing presses will be working overtime with the effect of flooding the financial system with more U.S. Dollars. Each dollar printed will be worth less and less and will most likely push dollar denominated commodity prices much higher for many years.

Gold futures prices hit all time highs this year. Silver futures prices hit 30 year highs. Copper futures prices hit multiyear highs. The grain markets hit multiyear price highs. Cotton futures prices hit levels not seen since the U.S. Civil War. Sugar and cocoa futures prices hit 30 year highs. Coffee futures prices hit 13 year price highs. The U.S. government swears that there has not been a significant rise in inflation rates but the commodity markets are saying that they are mistaken. Visit http://www.tkfutures.com/education.htm to learn more about futures and options trading.

Interest rates are near zero and based on the fact that the U.S. Government bought the toxic real estate assets from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac they will lose billions of dollars if rates go higher. This conundrum of raising interest rates to battle inflation versus losing billions of dollars will be problematic for the Federal Reserve. As quantitative easing continues to be used by central banks around the world, inflation and hyperinflation are very probable and commodity prices may run higher for many years to come. Visit http://www.tkfutures.com/basics.htm to learn more about investing in futures and options.

National Futures Association Launches Redesigned Website

Thursday, January 27th, 2011




Chicago (Vocus) June 30, 2009

National Futures Association (NFA) announced today the launch of its redesigned website, www.nfa.futures.org . In addition to a more contemporary visual design, the website contains several new features, including:


An enhanced search function for the NFA Manual, allowing NFA Members and other compliance professionals to search the Manual using specific rule numbers or key words or phrases;
An extensive Frequently Asked Questions section, allowing visitors to the site to find answers to their regulatory questions more quickly and efficiently;
A more intuitive navigation system; and
The addition of educational podcasts and webcasts for NFA Members and the general public.
“NFA’s website is the primary method futures industry professionals, the public, the media and other interested parties communicate with NFA,” said Karen Wuertz, senior vice-president of Strategic Planning and Communications. “The redesign will allow NFA to continue to provide accurate and relevant information to all of our audiences.”

One of the most popular features of NFA’s website is the Background Affiliation Status Information Center (BASIC). BASIC allows individuals to conduct free background checks of all registered futures firms and individuals. BASIC contains current and historical registration information as well as information concerning disciplinary actions taken by NFA, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and all of the U.S. futures exchanges.

“BASIC is an essential tool for anyone who is considering participating in the U.S. futures markets,” said Wuertz. “More than 150,000 background checks are conducted every month using BASIC.”

NFA is the premier independent provider of innovative and efficient regulatory programs that safeguard the integrity of the futures markets.

T & K Futures and Options, Inc. Says that Natural Gas Prices are Too Cheap











Port St. Lucie, FL (PRWEB) October 26, 2010

T & K Futures and Options, Inc. believes that natural gas futures prices are too cheap. The winter heating season is right around the corner and the markets seem to have already factored in the most bearish scenario imaginable for natural gas supply and demand forecasts. At these levels, the risk would seem to be to the upside for investors.

There is plenty of bearish news factored into the natural gas futures markets lately. Many large investors such as hedge funds and commodity funds have left the markets according to them most recent CFTC Commitment of Traders report. Underground supplies are up significantly because of shale production and there was less demand over the summer as electricity consumers cut back on air conditioning usage. According to data published by Baker Hughes, the Gulf of Mexico rig count is up by 34% to 966 from 721 from a year ago. All this bearish news in the market could be setting up a major contrarian investor play and for natural gas prices to rise significantly over the next 12 months. Visit http://www.tkfutures.com/natural_gas.htm to learn more about natural gas futures and options trading.

A cold winter could cut into the current underground natural gas supplies significantly over the next few months and hurricane season is still here for another month. Any increases in demand or disruptions in the supply of natural gas as it moves from point A to point B could spark a considerable short covering rally pushing natural gas futures prices much higher. Visit http://www.tkfutures.com/education.htm to learn more about the mechanics of futures and options trading.

The author of this article is a 17 year veteran of the natural gas futures and options markets and the president of T & K Futures and Options, Inc.
