International investment in crude oil trading has always been a very mature market investment target, and the increasing demand for crude oil in the market has also created an increasingly hot crude oil investment market. Domestic investment in crude oil is relatively new, and few people dare to be the first person to eat crabs. However, the first person who eats crabs is often the one who gains the most. To take this first step, we must understand the advantages of spot crude oil investment. Let me compare the four investment methods mentioned above and see what advantages they have.
1. Compared with stock investment, crude oil trading mode is more flexible and capital utilization efficiency is higher.
Compared with stocks, the biggest advantage of crude oil investment is the wide utilization rate of funds. The crude oil investment adopts margin trading, which greatly improves the utilization efficiency of funds compared with full stock trading. In addition, the unique T+ 1 trading mechanism of China stock market makes the stock operation very difficult and flexible, while the T+0 trading mechanism of crude oil investment is convenient for investors to grasp the market at any time, avoid risks and operate flexibly. On the other hand, there are more than 2,000 stocks in the A-share market. It is difficult for investors without professional level to choose a rising stock from more than 2000 stocks. However, there is no need to choose crude oil investment at all, just concentrate on studying its trend, so that more time can be spent on grasping the buying and selling points.
Second, compared with real estate speculation, crude oil investment has the advantages of low threshold, fast income and large profit space.
Although the price of crude oil fluctuates greatly, with its two-way trading mode, there are many investment opportunities, the trading threshold of using margin is low, the investment demand of small and medium-sized investment is met, and the investment return period is short. However, many investors know that the real estate industry has many disadvantages. Especially now, the government has imposed various restrictions on real estate, which has reduced investors' enthusiasm for market investment. There is a big bubble in real estate investment and there are certain risks. Secondly, the investment threshold of the real estate industry is high, with hundreds of thousands of apartments, which is far behind ordinary retail investors, and the real estate investment payback period is long and the funds are slowly withdrawn.
Third, compared with precious metals, crude oil investment has an irreplaceable investment demand for hedging.
The practical use of precious metals is mainly used in jewelry technology, medical equipment and storage. The market demand of precious metals is not high, and crude oil, as an industrial raw material, is widely used in various industrial production and processing, which has a national strategic position, and its spot market demand is stronger than that of silver, so investors have a great demand for the combination of spot and futures of crude oil for hedging, which well reflects one of the advantages of crude oil relative to precious metals-hedging, combining futures with cash. Compared with precious metals with high domestic investment enthusiasm in recent years, crude oil and precious metals are inextricably linked as investment targets, and their price responses to international fundamentals such as the international situation, the US economic environment and the European debt crisis are basically in the same direction. However, the specific investment operation and profit are still very different.
4. Compared with futures, crude oil has relatively perfect market mechanism and flexible trading time.
Compared with futures investment, the market trend of crude oil investment is more reasonable and easier to grasp. Domestic futures investment is mainly based on agricultural and sideline products and industrial raw materials, which are greatly affected by seasons and are discontinuous. Crude oil is an international energy trading variety, which is active and persistent; Moreover, the main force of domestic futures investment is seriously manipulated, which is prone to a bad situation in which a single banker controls the market. The huge international supply and demand of crude oil investment is simply beyond the control of such a financial group, so the market trend of crude oil investment is more reasonable and easier to grasp; Finally, futures trading time is mainly concentrated in daytime working hours, and crude oil investment trading is mainly concentrated in European and American countries, so its active trading time is mainly concentrated from 8: 00 pm to 1 1: 00 pm, which is a good working time stagger for investors to watch the operation.
