Wait, what? I thought a commodity was corn and a security was stock and everything in this discussion was about arguing which it was closer to.

What is a commodity then?

The above is obviously false. This is why you should not learn about finance and economics on HN, many users have no idea what they write. Something is either a security or a commodity, these are legal terms and treated differently by law. The status may be undermined but it can not be both.
