in grain mkts it's called an inverse in oil mkts its called backwardation

Sorry, I don't know about the direction of prices.... however I do see that animals are again being placed so feed demand should start accelerating. Keep in mind that the Ethanol plants are producing a lot of cheap protein in the form DDG's, much more than the export markets are willing to absorb.

I hear there are some bankrupting margin calls out there for the users i.e. feed and ethanol

I run both esignal and IQ with Quote Tracker. Usually it is esignal that gives me problems however today IQ with QT lagged badly during the PM session.

-physical demand is down -long only funds are being sold to cover losses on equities -Ethanol plants can't keep up with the margins so are being forced to sell their futures and close for awhile I am looking for a bottom formation

Prof: Thanks for taking the time to relay your thoughts. I always learn something from your many contributions to this site. My thoughts: ************************ Sorry for my taking this offtrack from why corn crashed ( that is til today). FYG - I went against my rules ystdy...

Busy trading the minis and missed my cz8/wz8 at -2.38

I also have heard of some pain out there. I bot the cz/wz in april at average 3.15 and later stopped myself out average 2.11 for a nice ride. I am however keeping a close eye on all the wheat going into feed in Europe due to high corn prices

took my 0.10 per contract hit (-$5000) now looking to get in again i.e. long cz8/short wz8 cannot justify wheat at these levels

sorry but have to disagree just a little.......; most commodity prices have two components: futures and basis "futures" are mostly subject to world supply and demand out into the future. "basis" is mostly subject to the cost of physically getting the commodity from point of supply to...

today went long 10 cz8/short 10 wz 8 at 2.20 discount to wheat

Jay Am very frustrated, switched to 10.5 from 8.0 yesterday and all went well till this AM I trade using constant vol charts. When I turned the program on this AM the charts would slowly start to upload and then freeze after only a few bars. I was unable to change pages nor even close the...

They say there are two ways to have the tallest building in the city....1) tear all the taller ones around you down 2) build the tallest. Its amazing how many losers we have here tearing buildings down in order to look the tallest.

I hv had esignal since the early 90's (when you had to hook to cable). I strongly feel it was a much better product in years past. I hv similar problems lately including charts slow in coming up, lagging feed etc. I now also run Quotetracker with IQ feed. I feel much more confident with the...

as an update: the nvidia Quadro 440 would not work on my machine so per gnomes advice, I removed the the 6800 and replaced it with the nvidia quadro 285 and added a nvidia quadro 280 PCI. works great

a great number of farmers put on their hedges when they commit cash sales to the grain companies.....no margin call to the farmers only lost opportunity costs.

Wait and see what happens to corn once wheat trades down. Ags have a nasty habit of going down a lot faster than up.

***************The only issue is that there just aren't many PCI slot cards out there anymore. May I suggest the BFG Technologies GeForce 6800 with 256mb of RAM and dual-ouputs ( 1 VGA and 1 DVI ).************** tks Landis so your suggestion is scrap the Quadro NVS 440 idea. reinstall my...
