This book provides analysts and portfolio managers with invaluable information on over 100 commodities. It includes both historical information and current (as of the last 3 months) pricing and trading patterns on a monthly and an annual basis. While electronic charting programs provide some of this information, they do so at much higher prices, and the information does not reach as far back or as comprehensively as the Yearbook. In addition, charting services do not offer their subscribers the opportunity to compare commodities conveniently. Includes CD-ROM containing commodity information.
