    What do you see grain prices in the next 12 months

    Dec E Corn has got some solid overhead resistance at the 400 level. That's the sweet spot.

    The Oil Desk

    You're failing to count the other petrol derivatives like the large swap marktet. Crude market is deep and wide.

    how come CDS dont trade standardized like options

    Think of all of the debt markets that exist. Organizing exchanges and clearing houses for all of these markets/instruments and the proposed standardized options on them would be a behemoth task. I think it's a novel idea, and have often wondered about it myself. I just think that it would be...

    Relax, Germany Is Going To Eliminate Unemployment until 2020

    Don't make the mistake of thinking that the market is always a proxy for economic health, b/c it's not.

    S&P - Broadening Formation

    I would say that the prospects for the broadening formation working out are fading fast. Today was the first close outside of the upper boundary. If we immediately rally from this point, there will probably be a retrace/retest of this prior resistance point, and if it breaks look for the next...

    Re: "Speculative Oil Price Bubble" in 2008

    GS played that like a fiddle. They (GS) rarely make a "pie in the sky" comment like that, as they're worried about tarnishing their reputation (reference the replacing of bull-dike AJCohen) with bad calls. That was a huge bluff to eek out an extra $10-$15 bucks to the upside to 1)crush the...

    Ideas for other "cash for ..." programs

    Provide an extra stimulus payment for the obese/overweight who, under doctor's supervision, lose at least 20% of their total bodyweight, and improve all of their health benchmarks (i.e. a drop in blood pressure, blood sugar, lipids). They should keep it off for at least one quarter, and upon...

    Obama: Aug. job report to show weak labor market

    That's just what he did w/ the GDP numbers, he prewarned (I believe he stated that GDP would be worse), and somehow GDP figures beat Barry St. estimates. He's starting to play the Wall St. earnings game with our economy....really sad.

    GDP growth better than expected. Who says this rally is not deserved?

    Agreed, but everyone (with a brain) is hawkishly watching the GDP figures for a material increase in private spending. We know that a "real" recovery cannot materialize until this happens. Everything between now and then is govt. induced growth and this is not in line with our (supposed)...

    Sugar No. 11

    I couldn't agree with you more. The real question is "When will the futures price fully reflect the supply shortage?" 11 has rallied approx 65% since last fall, and that's some serious movement. As for the magical chart patterns, the only thing that I'm eyeballing is the parabolic nature...

    GDP growth better than expected. Who says this rally is not deserved?

    C+I gives one a clearer picture of the health of the economy. That's the point that I'm making, extract G from the picture and you get to peer inside the realm of private consumption and investment, which is far more telling than Cash for Clunkers expenditures.

    GDP growth better than expected. Who says this rally is not deserved?

    Exactly. GDP = C+I+G G is propping up these numbers, and this quarter's numbers will be revised downward, as they have been every quarter for the last year. The government is spending like it's going out of style, and we still can't print a positive quarter. Answer to this problem =...

    Moving Averages of Energy Ftrs

    Right, 20 and 70, 80 period EMA. The only problem with the 50/200 SMA setup is that they don't cross very often, but if/when they do, it's watched/heeded/traded by many. I hope this helps.

    Moving Averages of Energy Ftrs

    50 SMA is consistently watched across most markets. I would say that a combo of the 20/70 and 20/80 EMA's are good, b/c many TFF's buy and sell the crosses hoping to catch the start of a new bull/bear trend.

    Software to easily program divergences

    I can't really recommend you to a software package, but I would say that you can get started using Excel and VBA. Pretty simple stuff, use some "if" statements to identify important swing highs/lows in price action, and do the same for your RSI or stochastic indicator. Then just establish...
