Few Questions From A Potential Beginner!

[Dtenn]

Hi all,

Few questions that i would be very grateful if you could help me out with!

I have always been interested in trading/broking and have finally managed to get myself an interview with a company in the new year. i know they trade crude swaps and i have been told to look at crude futures to get an idea of what they do, but obviously the more i can tell them i know in the interview the better chance i have of getting the job! What exactly is crude swaps? how does it work etc? and where would be the best place to find out as much info on this area as i can?

Cheers,

Dtenn

Thought i could maybe speak to some people who are actually in the oil trading game.

platts.com looks helpful though.

Cheers mate
