Hi there,

My name is Ira Iosebashvili and I'm a reporter with The Wall Street Journal. We're hoping to do a piece on retail investors who play commodities futures. If you'd like to share your war stories with us, we'd love to hear them. I'd be interested to hear when and why you started investing in commodities, how you have done and how the playing field has changed over the years. Please send me a line at ira.iosebashvili at wsj dot com and we can set up an interview.

Look forward to hearing from you,

Ira

No interest/no time to participate personally, but out of the thousands of others here perhaps someone would see the benefit.

I vote for @tigertrader to do it instead of me. Gary has much more breadth and color, and a much richer history. My story is more depressing, his is what everyone wants to hear.

Would love to hear from any of you, whether your story is uplifting, depressing, whatever. It's always challenging to get retal traders for a story like this and any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks!
