I remember in high school playing mock market in one of our classes. It was probably science or social studies of some sort…….. Anyway, we got to set up accounts and play the stock market as a part of a class project.

I honestly don’t remember now what the heck I did, traded, or made in profits or losses. It was probably Wally World since they were actually pretty new back then, but it might have been a product brand too. Who knows? But I do know that if I decided to try my hand at any of the markets now, I would need a commodities broker.

I would hope that a broker would be able to help me understand (in layperson’s terms) what was happening with my money and the stock or commodities that I had chosen to trade. See, I think maybe I’m combining two different things into one now.

Are commodities a product and stock a piece of a company? Man, it is beyond me!
