African American Investment Expert Wrote the Book on Commodity Trading -- Enlightening African American and Young Investors and Offering One Month Com

New York, NY (PRWeb) November 30, 2006 -- "Stop working for your money and make your money work for you" is the advice that young investment professional Shownna Clarke offers to her clients, students and investment clubs. However, Clarke, former Assistant Vice President of International Sales at one of the world's oldest and most prestigious investment firms, recommends commodity trading over stock purchase because on average, a smaller investment is required and return is often realized faster. In her newly published "ABC's to Commodity Trading: the Handbook for Beginners" (2006, 87 pp., soft cover, $29.95, ISBN-0-9770349-0-9) Clarke shares how investors can turn small investments into substantial profits in as little as a few months through trading commodity options. The author's ultimate goal is to inform and enlighten African American and young investors about little-known lucrative investment opportunities in commodity (mining or agricultural products) trading.

Written specifically for individuals with little-to-no market experience - using language that is easy to understand -- "ABC's to Commodity Trading: the Handbook for Beginners" offers an uncomplicated description and brief history of the lucrative commodity market; illustrative color charts and graphs; a glossary of investment terms; and practice investment exercises to reinforce learning. In the book, the author explores trading strategies and performance analysis, while teaching its readers to trade like professionals, and with minimal risk. "I am particularly interested in helping people in an area the average investment advisor does not typically approach," explained Clark. "African Americans and young people are my target market. They deserve to be exposed to wealth building alternatives."

Clarke says, "In commodity trading, it's possible to make up to $1,000 on a one-cent price move." She explains how in "ABC's to Commodity Trading: the Handbook for Beginners." Along with a book purchase ($29.95, plus $3.95 S&H) from Clarke's website (www.abccommodityhandbook.com), she will provide each purchaser with one month of investing educational support via email and/or telephone.

Shownna Clarke was most recently Assistant Vice President (AVP) of International Sales at one of the world's oldest and most prestigious investment firms, where she was promoted from AVP of Trade Support. During her six-year tenure with the company, Clarke was awarded the highest employee recognition offered by the distinguished investment firm -- its "Achievement of Distinction" (AD). The New York City native is also a licensed broker-dealer (Series 63) and NASD registered representative (Series 7). Leading up to her current executive title, she held various positions at TIAA-CREF and Credit Suisse First Boston.

The author and investment professional has been intrinsically involved in her firm's investment training program at New York high schools where she helped to arm young people with the knowledge and know how essential for financial and career success. The program also exposes youngsters to learning and experiences that will motivate them to become the next generation of entrepreneurs.

Shownna Clarke resides with her husband in New York.

Trends in the Australian Mortgage Industry
The final few months of the year 2006 proved very unpredictable and harsh for the Australian mortgage industry. This was because the lending values went in the upward direction in the home mortgage sector and the rate of house affordability went down for the first time in the last ten years. Sales of houses gained speed in every suburb and the city of Sydney recorded an unbelievable increase of 30 percent over the total sales of the earlier part of the year. Seeing this increase at the end of the year, the HIA [Housing Industry Association] has predicted that the coming year is going to be a record year for the home mortgage industry in Australia.
