how profitable is trading energy futures?

S

sya

hello all, this newbie would like to ask some qs :D
Im planning to do trading as an investment, for long term. I know that for short term there are a lot of fluctuations , but if we look in a long term perspective, from year to year , how many percent does the price increase yearly?

and how exactly the energy futures differ from normal company stocks?

what are the media/ website if we wanna trade online (I'm staying in Singapore)? is there any fee required?
 
if you pick the right stock with a good trend you can achieve the same with considerably less volatility. energy trading is exceptionaly profitable once you get a handle on the whipsaw maves especialy in natural gas
