The trade screen seems to be confusing for a lot of people, therefore this thread.

A very simple reason why the trade screen is important: On the trade screen you can see which goods are cheap and which are expensive. Using this information to create an industry that will use cheap goods to produce expensive goods is way better than random factory building, as your industry will make profits instead on decifits.I was hoping to find a reason to care about the trade screen in here. Anyone got one?

Another pretty simple one about the goods: If a good you need is very cheap (oil) then you should buy large amount of oil now and stockpile it for when needed. Otherwise you could and up buying oil while your enemies do as well and extra demand should make the price rise.
So in short because if you don't you could end up losing a lot of money unneeded.
Exactly. I wasn't going to say anything, but really, there's no need to pop in to random threads and say "This thread does not interest me"You can go on not giving a shit about the trade screen and be fine, but some people like to understand what's going on.

Yup. But then again, once oil appears on the map it doesn't take too long until you can use it. So no worries anyway.Does stockpile last infinitely, if nothing consumes the product in normal times?
