Does anybody have any thoughts on the Nov/Jan Feeder Cattle spread? It seems to be quite high compared to where it historically is. Last year it spiked big going into October, but before that it wasn't near the current level. Actually, Barchart shows it spiked, but for some reason Scarrtrading...

Good trade!

Yeah, you definitely called that. I was thinking if a down move happened that it could really kill the spread fast since it is the front month now. Good call on your part

OF COURSE as soon as I sell it immediately opens up higher lol whoops. Still very pleased regardless

I still have 900 more pages to skim of this thread lol, lots of good stuff though.

I am looking at April/May 2016 on Hogs. If it comes back up some, I think it would be a good short. The seasonality seems to be pretty good over the past several years just looking back through the charts. I will sign up for Scarr and do a further back analysis though to really see and need to...

Just closed out @ 6.8 for a nice 5.3 profit! I only had one on, so I am flat now. I debated on holding it until next week but figured I would go ahead and lock it in. If it pulls back I might enter again.

That just reminded me, I need to see the new Fast and Furious movie

Whew, soymeal spread taking a hit this morning. Hoping it is just the curve getting a bit out of whack from the big selloff

Haha heck yeah, just got back from lunch and saw it. 7.3/7.5! I have my limit order set at 10. I just set it awhile back so I could track the spread price from IB on my phone. I might just leave that in place for now and hope it hits.

Soybeans I'm showing Minnesota as the third largest. http://www.statista.com/statistics/192076/top-10-soybean-producing-us-states/ I believe they have most of the crops on there

Cotton, I don't know about Virginia and TN, but I do know Mississippi and Georgia are some of the main producers behind Texas.

I sold all my stock several months back and put the profits into options for May...they expired worthless so now I'm just on the sidelines. That means it probably will double lol

That ZM spread sure dropped quick before I went to lunch. I am still in though and just saw it has come back a bit. Do any of you all follow this blog: http://seasonalfuturesspreads.blogspot.com/ It's the guy that runs Scarrtrading I believe. I just stumbled across it

I've been really debating on adjusting my 401k allocations also. Its a pretty aggressive portfolio. I will probably reduce risk a little. If the market drops I'll probably increase my contribution some also.

I'm not subscribed to any of the seasonal historical research sites right now, but just looking back on barchart through 09 it seems to have done pretty well. It does look like it typically needs to be held for quite awhile

Spoke to the guy this morning and it is structured a bit differently than I thought but still not bad. Anyways, I'll update if I end up going forward with it all. @TraDaToR did you find anything out on the hog fundamentals? Awhile back I remember writing down two different spreads to enter...

Bone, Appreciate the thoughts. I already have some but this would basically be to increase the amount quite a bit. 20-50 (probably somewhere in the middle depending on details) is definitely not a ton, but I think it's worth the time. We already have a smaller operation in place currently. It...

Well it depends, waiting to find out all the details. I have a friend that is doing the same program (in another state) and bought 200 head he also received some sort of grant per head to help with the cost because it was a drought area I think. I don't have enough land to support that many...

I'm still in this one, I really debated on getting out when I saw it at 5.3/5.4 this morning but missed that opportunity. Playing it by ear for now. I actually might have an opportunity to get about 25-50 bred heifers soon depending on how the numbers crunch out. There are some beginning...
