Apparently any moron can post.

The atrocious part to me was ConAgra owning a Nymex seat and running a floor desk. Some logical extension of the ethanol crush, perhaps? How many stop orders do you suppose were parked just North of $100?

Have the European corporate High-Yield spreads been anything like the U.S.? I don't follow them closely beyond my 401K's PIMCO high-yield fund (which is up, like 25% YoY).

Friedman and Krugman both are on the Soros payroll. Fat American tourist versus eleven year old girl in China working 16 hour days breathing heavy-metals laden smog while sewing Nike shoes for 28 cents per hour. Here's a picture: Fat American, wearing those Nikes sewn with exploited...

Having been an independent floor trader leasing a full membership I can tell you from first-hand experience that the quality and veracity of the prints is incredibly important. The NFA enforcement files are full of cases where people get fined, banned, sanctioned for bogus trades. There...

Honestly, I think that statistics is one of the most useful and marketable undergrad coursework offerings re: trading. Certainly one of the most applicable. Junior and Senior-level courses on Logic and Game Theory would also be worthwhile. I have a couple hedge fund analysts as clients and...

Well, I was trying to streamline the signature. But since you mentioned it, I will put it back in. Peternam, the quotes are "gay".

Yes, that is true. I'm a very good trader and consultant but a lousy website builder. I have as many clients as I need and can handle, so the website fulfills it's intended function. I get alot of referrals from current and past clients - getting clients has never really been an issue for me...

And that would make Cotton pegged to the Yuan. If the Yuan was allowed to float by the People's Bank of China would then, in fact, Cotton be allowed to float? Cotton truly is an all-natural miracle fiber. And a power player in the G20.

Rubi: thanks for the kind words. Even though you are obviously me posing as an alias. How does if feel being me? Would you please tell my wife that I'm putting in a saltwater aquarium with a coral reef theme in my trading office downstairs so that will explain the contractors in the driveway...

The Calendar Spreads with Cotton and Sugar #11 are fantastic trades:

Joe, if anybody went back and looked at each one of your posts for the past two years, the inescapeable conclusion is that you never display any knowledge about markets or trading. None. You throw out posts on a board for which you have no apparent expertise. Honestly, there is no difference...

Maybe the public schools where she lives are so shitty that she's making a hard choice to act like a truly responsible parent. Maybe this is really a reflection on the Teacher's Unions and the Democratic Party's penchant for unlimited tax dollars to public school systems with zero...

Well, it is pure myth that the Chinese are dealing from a position of strength regarding some sort of economic trade-war showdown. The fact of the matter is that the Chinese economy is much more dependent upon the US than vice-versa.

"so the US devalues it's currency but the yuan is pegged to it" Bottom Line: Gives the US legitimate legal cover internationally at the WTO and domestic cover for both US political parties to ultimately punish Chinese export capability into the United States. The Euro pegged countries would...

Agreed. And you definitely don't want to attempt legging the things manually. In terms of slippage economy the exchange spreads are the only way to fly.

The RMB and by proxy it's principal unit the Yuan is a "managed float" in propagandist name only. The People's Bank of China stringently enforces ridiculous annual quotas and both citizen and non-citizen registrations/physical presence rules for exchanging currency. The PBC PEGS the...

Well, there are common perceptions and then there are some stubborn macro factoids. The reason why Soros and Buffett and Friedman et al have been calling for much greater government stimulus spending is because when compared to the hard wealth assets held by US citizenery, the government, and...

Check that, those are bank bail-out funds and not stimulus funds - this is all understood by both political parties and the Fed. That's why you don't hear any meaningful talk about repatriating those funds - it's understood. And since 2008 the Fed has unprecedented authority to act...

Because China holding $1.5 Trillion in US sovereign debt is nothing. US private citizens hold well over $20Trillion in 401Ks. And collective US Wealth exceeds Chinese collective wealth by a crazy margin. 1. If China ever wanted to sell U.S. holdings the U.S. Treasury would buy it before...
