How to file taxes when trading commodities?
For three months in '09, I traded commodities and had a year-end loss of $900. I know I use form 6781 and schedule D, but I'm not sure how to fill them out.

And if so, then how do I list the activity? How do I transfer this information to state? I live in AZ. Read more >>

Price of oil goes down yet cost of food, commodities and other services stay put. What’s up?
When the price of oil hit almost $ 150.00 dollars per barrel, the price of gasoline went sky high taking along with it the prices of everything else using oil and gas. Now that the price of oil is down to $47.00 per barrel and the price of gasoline where I live is down to $1.60/gallon, I don't see much of anything follow suit.
