20080306789 | System and Method for Generating Revenues in a Retail Commodity Network - Embodiments disclosed herein provide viable revenue models for a service provider that offers price protection on a retail commodity to businesses as well as individual consumers in a retail commodity network. Specifically, embodiments disclosed offer a plurality of revenue flows in which the cost incurred by a service provider to offer hedge positions associated with a retail commodity can be offset in a variety of ways to cover the operating expenses and generate realistic profits. In some embodiments, a revenue model for a service provider in a retail commodity network may be built depending upon whether hedging cost information is generated internally or obtained externally. Such cost may be passed on to a customer entirely, none at all, or somewhere in between. Embodiments disclosed herein further provide a plurality of revenue sources and ways to generate revenues therefrom. | 12-11-2008 |
20080313013 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ESTIMATING FORWARD RETAIL COMMODITY PRICE WITHIN A GEOGRAPHIC BOUNDARY - Embodiments disclosed herein provide a new way to generate estimated forward retail prices for a retail commodity within a geographic boundary that represents a target market; Using estimates for local retail prices, combined with knowledge of current and historical wholesale prices, embodiments disclosed herein enable the creation of a forward estimate of retail prices on fuels for a specific location, time period, and fuel grade. In some embodiment, the process of creating a forward estimate of retail prices on fuels comprises performing a predictive modeling utilizing wholesale gasoline prices, rack markup, retail markup, and taxes on a location, time period, and fuel grade basis. In some cases, the estimated forward retail prices thus generated can be used in a pricing model for price protection services for that retail commodity in that target market. | 12-18-2008 |
20080313014 | SYSTEM AND METHOD OF DETERMINING A RETAIL COMMODITY PRICE WITHIN A GEOGRAPHIC BOUNDARY - Disclosed are a method and system for determining a retail price for a commodity within a geographic boundary. Retail prices for the commodity may be obtained from various sources, such as observers, third-party reporting, transactional data, and self-reporting. The retail price for each source may be analyzed to determine a risk factor. The retail prices from all sources associated with a location may be compared to determine a composite retail price for the location. The retail prices for all the locations within the geographic boundary may be analyzed to generate an aggregate composite price for the commodity within the geographic boundary. The analysis may include using a weighted formula. The analysis may include a volume proxy. | 12-18-2008 |
20080313070 | SYSTEM, METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONSUMER PURCHASE AND FUTURE DISTRIBUTED DELIVERY OF COMMODITY AT PREDETERMINED PRICES - Embodiments disclosed herein provide a unique methodology as well as the overall architecture necessary to implement the methodology that can enable an entity to create and provide a consumer price protection product under the Forward Contract Exception of the Commodity Exchange Act. Even consumers who do not meet commodity-related regulation requirements such as the Eligible Contract Participant regulatory requirements may purchase such a consumer price protection product or a variation thereof to reduce or cancel out the risk or at least reduce the unpredictability in purchasing commodities such as motor fuels. | 12-18-2008 |
