By resorting to name calling, you have told the world exactly what you are.

Do you know anything about the carry? Do you know about the spread relationships? Do you know how to calculate storage costs, transmission costs, interest factor? The distant months of wheat were trading at a discount last summer, and wheat rallied 40%, higher at Minneapolis.

For #16, you need to examine why the market is inverted. There is a reason, and it has little to do with predicting future trends. http://masteroftheuniverse.wordpress.com/

Cold fusion is a myth, nothing more. All claims of cold fusion have been debunked as the experiments haven't replicable by other parties. I could go into the exact science of why it's a myth, but this is a trading forum. http://masteroftheuniverse.wordpress.com/

I've been an exchange member and a speculator since the late 70's and the one lesson I've learned is not to make value judgements and engage in hand wringing. Just trade. This bull market in commodities is unlike anything I've seen in many years, and presents many good trading opportunities...

You bring up very valid points which show merit. The difference between us is that I have absolutely no concern about who's in office, what policies are in place, what regulations are in force. I do think the USA is a pretty good place to invest, and I'm pretty bullish on America as a whole...

Really, there's not a thing besides your vote that you can do to affect the government or policy. Instead of being so distressed about the financial system, why not just look at the great trading opportunities that are the result of all of this mess. Somehow, I think we'll muddle through all...

One might consider reducing the extreme risk in the oil futures market by using options. At least, with options, you can quantify the risk that you're willing to accept. http://masteroftheuniverse.wordpress.com/

Why don't you trade spreads......pretty low margin in spreads.

My worst beat was when I was a 17 year old kid playing in an illegal poker club. I was solid winners that day when a group of masked armed thugs came in and robbed everyone in the place. I lost my entire stake, which, in 1973 was around $4500. That was big money in those days. That taught...

I usually try to sell people insurance....that gets them running...and I don't even sell insurance. Jeff

Some of the biggest older grain traders I know live in lower middle class neighborhoods, and drive 10 year old F-150's. They use coupons at the grocery store, and are very tight with a buck. However, they will still swing a line of 10 million bushels at a crack, and are probably worth a few...

I love it when stock brokers and investment advisors who don't know me start talking about the market in social situations. When they find out that I own a couple of seats on different exchanges, and trade for a living, they suddenly clam up about their expertise. I don't ever call myself a...

I see you got hooked by Roy. I think he had his last original thought in the 60's. The principles he espouses are analagous to his compadres in Utah when they perfected cold fusion. While you're on the subject of pseudoscience, here's a good link from a respectable source...

Very entertaining rebuttal. No hard and fast definitions of science....that's beautiful. Just out of curiosity, why don't you post your CV, and show the world your qualifications. As for myself, I am eminently qualified to judge what is and what isn't science.....check out my CV. As for the...

I respectfully disagree with your assessment. Chess and checkers are absolutely great indicators. Mastery of chess and checkers are indicators of a logical mind, capable of deception, and thinking 9 moves in the future...all essential components for trading. Although this is anecdotal, of the...

Still, nothing beats real experience. Someone who wants to learn should find an old guy who has 30 years experience on the floor and beg them to teach some little tricks. Some of these online guys, I take with a grain of salt. That's what I first did 28 years ago when I showed up totally green...

APA, You might get your information from google, which is a just a search engine, but I prefer to either get my information from sources such as: Chemical Abstracts http://www.cas.org/ or The Journal of Physical Chemistry http://pubs.acs.org/journals/jpcafh/index.html...

The key phrase, "I think" is indicative of the cognitive dissonance that is manifest in your thought process. Any good trading ideas? I'm eager to learn from a good trader like you..

Sorry, but I don't paper trade.
