Another way to look at it.
Let's say that you had 500.00 $ seed capital.
You could buy aluminum and sit on it for a couple of years in hopes that it would double to 1,000.00$
--- or ---
You could keep that money busy making even more money for you. Let's say you only did 10 buy/sell deals a year at an average net profit of 10% per transaction. You would more than double your money in the first year alone.
Cash flow is a big concern for most businesses as well. Maybe THE most difficult thing to deal with. You've always got money going out. There are a million and one expenses. You don't always have money coming in.
That's something a farmer is far too painfully aware of when he's waiting crops to come in.
