I was wondering if anyone knew of any cotton-related stocks that are publicly traded. I've been bullish on the commodity for awhile, but I don't have the fund size to buy a contract and set a sufficently wide stop loss. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys.

Great thoughts guys, I really appreciate it. I tend to agree, I don't particularly think one is more profitable than the other, I do think that panic bottoms are a bit easier to spot, but require slightly stonger nerves and better timing.

I'd like to hear others' thoughts on which is a better market for a true die hard contrarian to enter. 1) the "blood on the streets" view. Buy panic, fear, hysteria, etc... 2) the apathetic, sleeper bottom view. Buying markets at lows not do to fear and volatility, but due to long and slow...

I'd like to get you guys' opinions on at what point one should raise their stop loss after a position has gone in their favor. For example, lets say I'm aiming for a 2.5 to 1 reward ratio, at what level would you recommend raising the stop loss and by what amount (at 1.5? 2? 2.5?). Thanks guys.

So much fun. I wish there were more players in the pits though, if you get put in a game with 3 wallflowers, the action slows down.

no one? wow.

Thanks a ton for the insight. I ended up never interviewing though. A few days before the interview, I received a great offer from a hedge fund back in my hometown and needless to say, I took it. Best of luck with the interviews everyone. Sorry I won't be able to pass any interview info to...

Thanks for the help everyone. I'm getting a much better picture of the kind of option setup would work best for what I'm looking for. I'm not quite there, but getting much closer.

Thanks for the help nazz. when re-reading my post, i think my use of the word "leverage" was a bit off. A better description of what i am looking for is a way to get the highest amount of volatility (a beta of say... 100) possible while still keeping the correlation to the s&p as close as...

Anyone know where to find solid fundi research on cotton? This is definately out of my sphere of knowledge. Thanks.

Thanks Illini, I got the book last week, but will not be able to have it read by my interview time. Anyway, I know the jist and I agree that many view it as the bible for options traders. I have heard it's the basis for their training program.

Thanks for the info, Lion. What do you mean by "trading questions"?

I have an interview next week for their assistant trader position and am very busy preparing. I really want to nail the interview. Does anyone have any personal experience with the firm and/or their interviewing process? Thanks.
