scheme for you ).

Commodities WWW Resources
Jump point based in US with usual bias. It sounds like some of the links may be to
downloadable data etc, but have not chased too far.

access can be difficult. The site is experimental and, reading between the lines , an AI
system using a raw data feed, so it's one to watch. A full review would be welcomed.

Exactly what it says. Well worth a visit for the investor.
NETworth
US oriented data, analysis and information. Have not really explored but it crops up on
most "good places" lists so worth a visit for investors.
