Research and Markets: Extreme Weather and The Financial Markets: Opportunities in Commodities and Futures

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Dublin - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/g995zb/extreme_weather_an) has announced the addition of John Wiley and Sons Ltd's new book "Extreme Weather and The Financial Markets: Opportunities in Commodities and Futures" to their offering.

Record-setting snowfall, cyclones in Australia, chronic drought in Russia, and other dramatic weather events are getting increased attention from scientists and the general public. The effects of climate change present challenges to many sectors, but also present major investing opportunities in the stock, bond, and futures markets. Extreme Weather and The Financial Markets looks at climate change from an investor's standpoint. The climate change debate is somewhat irrelevant to those in the financial industry, since we already live with more than enough extreme climate events to impact the financial markets.

-To the extent that environmental scientists are correct and global climate change is real and getting worse, the more investment opportunities we have.

-The book presents investment ideas that will work under today's global climate condition and will become even more lucrative if global climate change continues.

Focusing on the investment opportunities during dramatic weather events, Extreme Weather and The Financial Markets offers advice on how to capitalize on global climate change.

Key Topics Covered:

CHAPTER 1 Commodities and Their Current Stories

CHAPTER 2 Where to Invest: Stocks, Bonds, or Futures?

CHAPTER 3 Global Climate Shock Number One: Excess Snow and Ice

CHAPTER 4 Global Climate Shock Number Two: Flooding Mines

CHAPTER 5 Global Climate Shock Number Three: Farmland Droughts, Floods, and Frost

CHAPTER 6 Global Climate Shock Number Four: Hurricanes and Tornadoes

CHAPTER 7 Global Climate Shock Number Five: Drought-Induced Timberland Fires

CHAPTER 8 Real-Life Examples: Execution, Results, and Timing

CHAPTER 9 Playing Both Sides of the Coin

CHAPTER 10 Basic Principles of Commodity Investing

CHAPTER 11 Opportunities in the Bond Market

CHAPTER 12 Opportunities in the Foreign Currency Exchange Market

CHAPTER 13 Basic Principles of Futures Market Investing

Business networking (schmoozing!) includes events by which groups of like-minded businesspeople recognize, create, or act upon business opportunities.

The Greater Shelby Chamber is proud of our variety of business networking opportunities that allow you to build new relationships and generate business opportunities. We offer City Focus events, Business After Hours, Social 280, Network 280 and SpeedNetworking. All of these are no cost events designed specifically to promote the host business and offer opportunities for business networking and schmoozing!

With more than 800 square miles to cover, the Greater Shelby Chamber provides members a chance to discover what’s going on around the county. We schedule two City Focus events on the first and third Tuesday morning of each month. While networking is the key to City Focus events, you also get a chance to meet city officials and hear a brief update of developments in that particular area.

Network 280 events are morning meetings hosted by a Greater Shelby Chamber member along the U.S. 280 corridor. The host member is given an opportunity to address attendees about current products and services. This is an excellent opportunity to meet the business leaders along the U.S. 280 corridor.

Business After Hours and Social 280 events are premier networking opportunities offered in a relaxed, late afternoon setting in which to meet and mingle with Chamber members, enjoy refreshments and fellowship while networking.

SpeedNetworking has been voted a member favorite for several years. These quarterly events are fun and fast-paced, and you’re guaranteed to walk away with many new business contacts every time!

Participation is the key in making your membership work for you! If you’re interested in hosting a business networking event, check out the Greater Shelby County Chamber of Commerce online at Shelbychamber.org or call us at 663-4542.

We look forward to schmoozing with you at our next business networking event!

Jennifer Whisenant is president and CEO of the Greater Shelby County Chamber of Commerce. You can reach her at jennifer@shelbychamber.org.
