Interesting thread. Do you see any opportunity with Dec07/July08 Wheat?

Yeah- Its a good thing we got over that whole "eating" thing that's been bogging us down. If we were still stock with "eating" every day, we would really be affected by wheat and corn prices doubling in the last year.

So, if the nearby wheat sells off, it will make planting it a little less attractive, so the 08 prices should rise a little?

I'm an Ag noob, so let me ask a pretty dumb question: Why does July08 Wheat fall off so sharply? Corn and Beans don't fall off like that. Is it because the shortage in Wheat is short term b/c of the poor Australian crop?

Maybe Buffett is buying oil now too! :D :D :D

When commercial producers hedge their crops, how far out do they usually trade?

Note: Sam Zell sold out of his real estate company at the very peak. This guy knows his stuff.

The best scene in Let it Ride (After every scene that contains Jennifer Tilly) is when he goes around asking everyone else what horse they like then he bet the one no one said. This is the embodiment of the odd lot theory. I find the odd lot theory to be one of the most powerful indicators out...

Let it Ride is by far the best gambling movie ever made. I love it!

I'm short some ZN right now. Here's how I look at it- if the Fed raised rates several times and the 10 year rate went down, when they cut rates the curve should steepen and the 10 year rate should go up. More liquidity --> more inflation risk --> higher longterm rates

Thanks- I've seen the CBOT site, but I'm looking for an education on the fundamentals- what's important, what's not, what intermarket spreads to watch, etc.

What resources would you recommend for me to immerse myself in Ag Futures info? My interests are grains and softs. I don't have a background in them, and want to get up to speed on the relevant issues surrounding the crops- weather, supply/demand issues, what's important to look at and what...

buy the arrest, sell the acquittal.

Thanks- what do you think of that idea? Cotton could move to the low 70s I think if beans and wheat keep going up.

Can farmers plant cotton on the same land as wheat and corn? My thinking is that many will forsake cotton for grains since their prices are so high and we will see a supply shortage of cotton. Next question is, if I want to play this view, what part of the cotton strip should I buy? The...

Why do you guys beat on the paid advertisers here so much??? People like them keep this site free for all of us. If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything.
