>There's no insider trading laws in commodities or real estate, have those markets collapsed? I didn't check, but is this really true? If a mining company executive knows that for whatever reason they will see a 10% drop in yield next quarter, but it's not public knowledge, they can buy futures, no problem? All the execs can get together if there's something going on and invest on that info as long as they're investing in the commodity, not stock?
