Has anyone here looked at pair trading using similar interest rate futures? For example ZN against ZF or GBL against GBM? I have been using GBL/GBM spreads as a way to manage delta more percisely on GBL options. Looking at it from at "Stat Arb" angle could give me a new look at the situation

You may want to consider Canadian diamonds, since they are considered to be "blood free". Coffee can be stored for a long time, more than ten years I think, although I'm not a coffee expert. Palladium seem to go through a shortage every decade or two and is otherwise precious. These...

If you can get your hand on this book you will be away to the races http://www.artofgrainmerchandising.com/ I really enjoyed it when I read it. A big part of what you will be doing is trading logistics. Where is the position? A Friend of mine had a similar position in Ontario

Downloaded it but all I get are error messages in German Has anyone used ESTX50 options and futures in combination?

With my IB account under the ticker ESTX50 I can select futures and then "options" Are the option index options and therefore not margin efficient to hedge the underlying future as part of a long gamma delta neutral hedging strategy? Or are they future options and can be used to hedge...

The silo is in southwestern Ontario, good old Huron County. It is made of concrete and could need re- inforcing. I know that in order to store grain in concrete silos you need to strap cables around the outside to handle the weight. I would think heating oil would be easier to handle...

Well you may think this is crazy but has anyone out there ever considered converting a silo into storage for heating oil? The silo I want to convert is 60 feet tall and 20 feet in diameter. It was previously used for storing haylage, corn silage and barlage. For some of you this should...

Does anyone know what percentage of the corn harvest will be historically completed by August 30th? How about by September 14th? Why am I asking? Since the September is worth more than the December I was think the harvest supply would drive the September contract lower if the harvest came in...
