Energy Trading Books?
Recently I accepted a job at a major oil company in the Supply & Trading division. I have a decent understanding of trading futures overall, but lack a lot of knowledge of just trading energy futures.
If there are any energy futures traders out there can you suggest a book or piece of literature for me to read to understand the fundamentals of the subject?
Jim Rogers is about as good as it gets when it comes to commodities; try "Hot Commodities"
A book w/ a mass of 0.6 kg sits on a ledge 0.2m high. What is the books potential energy?
Potential energy = mgh
where
m = mass of the book = 0.6 kg (given)
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/sec^2 (constant)
h = initial vertical position of book = 0.2 m (given)
Substituting values,
PE = 0.6*9.8*0.2
PE = 1.176 joules
Hope this helps.
