Very interesting article about real commodity trading firms

Question

I have to be honest and say that my understanding of these types of firms was little to none prior to reading this article-

Interesting to see that these unknown firms have more revenues and profits than any publicly traded corporations with little to no regulation or understanding of their businesses.

What it shows yet again is those who have the most power control supply and pricing which pushes the lowest down even further. The fact that less than 5 firms have this kind of power is quite concerning and very anti-free/open market.

Hey ... good find.  I know a guy working for Vitol as a trader.  I&#x27;m unfamiliar with the commodities trading houses.  The big three are European based but with some operations here in the U.S.
