I am tilling my yard come spring. 24 rows of corn and 16 rows of beans. Hay in the front yard. Saving a 20x20 drill for some oil....

Homes here in Ohio are dead money for the last 5 years. Of course I have 4,000 sq ft at a cost basis of $339,000 in 2002 so I hope to recover by the time my youngest goes to college in 12 years. There are 8 out of 49 homes in our sub for sale. Sold all my multifamily holdings in 2005 at a...

There was never a farm crisis till Carter. He set the American farmer back 30 years with 15% rates and the grain embargo. They are just now getting back to reasonable roi. Smoke that Willie Nelson!!!

So you are the gray hair guy in the importance commercial! Boom chick a bow bow!!! I knew he had a babe-woman dilemma! Good trading to you!

I own 50 acres of prime, undeveloped commercial land, across from a developing Bass Pro and my eyes popped when I saw the rental rates for ag this year. Let's see, Bob Evan's or the bean farmer? I think Bob will win but he is buying out the farmer now too... :D

Sorry, your are too young to remember the Atlas ads in Boys Life? Gotta remember, everyone doesn't get context..... :D

If your are not successful in other persuits in your life, you will probally not be in trading. If you are a 90 lb weakling turned babe magnet, you might have a shot.

ES and index traders. The stuff rolls downhill. I was saying a month ago how the ym was loosing the volume and action, now the es... It has gone to the grains. Look at the charts, volume, seat prices. Money will always follow the action, just like a whore! Hedge funds at work. Seat...

Go to ADM. The grains are a great niche to learn. You can apply the technicals to the financials, currencies, etc. and the fundementals to the exotics. You can't find a better path then learning the grains. Cut your teeth, sit at the booth in Chicago or KC. Lots of fund guys come out of...

This reminds me so much of 94. We were slapped in the face with the mexican meltdown, then the Orange County collapse, and raising interest rates bottoming housing. Same shit you hear today, the consumer is done for. GM was almost bankrupt in 91 and it was a jobless recovery. The day after...

If you want to be a market maker try tradesports.com. It used to be $5,000 you could be a market maker. Did it for awhile. Fun but you need to get in on the right events to make it work, not a fun way to watch a monday night game till 12:30 am. I think they just split off their event trading...

They put a bunch of Vietnam Vets, suffering post traumatic stress disorder, in the chicago pits in the eighties. Many were able to function normally after spending their days there. They said it was the closest thing to comat they experienced.

Some interesting action this week. Of course a lot of noise with snowstorm and preholiday. But at recent index highs there was not alot of squeezing action. Kind of lazy follow through. As always, don't predict, react...

An inside vertical bar breakout in the direction of the longer term trend is the highest probability trade. Susequent pullbacks inside the inside vertical bar are excellent low risk trades as well, the longer the time frame, the higher the expectency of follow through.

I have to side with neet on this one and his strategy. Nothing unique about the last couple of weeks. Intermittent trending and choppy days. Very tough trading as I have seen on some threads. Have to be able to recognize past inside range breakouts and retracements, throw in a moving average...

Shorten up your timeframes... Smaller stops on multiple positions, the market always moves and follows through on the shortest timeframe with confirmation from the larger time frame. Loosing big on big entries from longer timeframes suck. Trading the smaller, allows you to reverse constantly...

Buy when the bombs start falling? Like in 1981, Reagan, cold war, (silent but deadly) 1991 gulf war, 2003 gulf war 2.0, and 2006 Lebanon....
