This question is a little out of left field but I've been reading some economic history and I couldn't but feel like the old-school merchants had the coolest job ever in the sense that they both bought and sold commodities as well as owned the actual ships they moved the goods with, thereby completely dominating the whole supply chain between producers and consumers.
Evidently charterers and shipowners have become two fairly distinct groups nowadays but I was wondering if there are any jobs/firms that might resemble that kind of old-school trading in any way. Freight traders at commodity firms?
Nerdy and random question but I'm interested in your opinions.
some commodity trading firms have their own fleets... BP, trafigura, and some others come to mind.
