Interesting discussion. I have watching Global Sigma very closely for a couple of months ago. Found an interview or two out there. There risk adjusted performance is unreal. My understanding is that they are actively hedging their positions even though the options are sold naked. I would also...

Man, grains got beat up again today. I was pretty surprised to see ZCZ just blow through any support at $4.00 today. Gapped lower on the open last night, didn't look back. I was definitely not expecting that.

Not a good week for ZC/ZS/Cattle. Time to start buying the entire commodities sector hoping for a rebound, or is the international economy just screwed?

Man, corn and soybeans caught a bid off some strong support. I have no idea what to think here. Weather is getting better, but there is still a lot of uncertainty. I bet we trade in ranges for a while here.

I'm surprised how much corn is down today, 9-10 cents. It's been rallying and a breather is not unusual, but that's a bigger move than a breather. I wonder if it's a temporary trend change.

July USDA report out today. Grain markets keep hanging in there. Weather looking drier for certain parts of the Midwest. Any thoughts today?

Yep, those soybeans are nuts. Corn picking up a lot as well.

Interesting feeder cattle trade. Pretty strong day today. Looks like August '15 is gunning for $227 again.

ZL popping on the biofuel mandate that came out this morning. Not really sure how bullish the report actually is. Wondering if it's another chance to fade the move.

Had some guys buy some cheap soy oil puts and made some okay money on them. The funds were indeed unwinding their short ZM, long ZL positions.

Let me ask a couple of the brokers I work with, they have hog producers as clients. If I can remember to...

That was a heck of a ZW rally yesterday. I love how the market tries to find a fundamental reason for the rally, although there was legitimately some cold weather in KS and ND. Nobody wants to admit that the fund record short position, combined with high-powered stop-seeking algos, led to a 6%...

Yeah, I believe so.

I believe so, yes.

Lx008, I've been watching soy oil pretty closely. I was looking at the CFTC Commitment of Traders report yesterday, clearly the funds have been buying ZL, selling ZM over the past couple of weeks. I kind of want to fade that trade, but it could be foolish. I keep hearing that the ZL rally is due...

USDA crop report out in about 5 minutes here, first glance at 15/16 crop balance sheet.

As a non-practicing attorney who is not providing you w/ legal advice, you need to have an experienced attorney review that non-compete for enforceability. Further, you need to have an attorney seriously look at whether you have claims against them for the tech issues that caused the losses. At...

Nice trade there.

News came out that live cattle traded at $161 in KS, and the market started dropping like a rock. Of course, I just got someone into that LEM:Q spread too.

Sorry to reopen an old thread, but optionshouse/trademonster is horrible with keeping their platform up. Their platforms always seem to crash when the markets get volatile. I have some options expiring today, probably not too problematic, but this happens ALL THE TIME!
