Filiz-- "Trading pork bellies" refers to investing in the commodities market. This involves predicting whether the price of a certain commodity--could be pork bellies, orange juice, lumber, or many other things--is going to rise or fall in the future. The contract in question must be sold on a certain date, at the then-current price. This can be a way to make or lose a lot of money quickly, so it is quite risky.
Don't feel bad if you are not familiar with this--this is unknown to many Americans as well!
