Moving nicely! Up 7.5% so far. Looking for it to keep on moving up..hopefully.

In regards to the long portion of that spread, I talked to a farmer this weekend from out west. He was very adamant that he felt December corn prices should make a decent move up over the next several months. He also said he thought soybeans might move up a little bit, but that ultimately they...

Yeah, I am thinking one of the bigger players in all of this, Hasbro, Mattel, etc could easily buy them out. I went long yesterday around when I posted @ 2.15/share. It is a small position that I will potentially add to as we move forward depending on how things are going.

Is anybody looking at LF as a buyout target? Seems like there might be some potential there. It is trading around half the book value and has quite a bit of capital on hand with minimal to no debt if I'm not mistaken.

Just realized there is a post with a very similar title to this, regardless I am mainly just looking for some input. I have come across a few different options and don't want to spend a fortune.

Does anybody have a good recommendation on where to get quality historical EOD data for the S&P500 constituents that includes the delisted stocks? I don't believe Quandl includes the delisted and there have been some small errors I have found in the data. Any help would be appreciated. I am...

Should have clarified, I didn't mean for actual dairy production. You can buy the holstein bull calves for next to nothing (I paid about $50/calf) since they are of no use to the dairy producers. They still bring decent money at the sale barns. I think the 3 best ones I sold brought $4-500 each...

I bought 22 holstein calves like 3 years ago for dirt cheap. Probably our hottest summer in a very long time in TN and the guy lied to me about the calves age and them being off the bottle. They were dropping like flies in no time....luckily the remaining ones bulked up enough to cover my costs...

The only way to farm without being on a very large scale is buying the equipment used. I don't know any serious farmer who buys brand new equipment unless it is a major operation where he can justify it. My dad always got everything used at auction which I know helped significantly. I believe...

Ah I see, wasn't sure how you were wanting to go about it all. Probably best bet would be to get somebody you know who knows about cattle to help you. Other option is to buy a significant amount at a time. Find somewhere selling 100 calves for example, and you buy half. Go and see them all and...

Lol it depends on how young of calves you are talking. If you mean going and buying some holstein calves for dirt cheap...good luck. It takes a lot of time and effort to succeed with that. I have definitely learned that one the hard way. If you are serious, how do you intend to go about the...

Just saw this post and realized my order filled after all. I entered at .05. Wasn't too thrilled I am going to wait for a bit, but I won't let it move much against me before stopping out.

Ahh I gotcha, that's a good point

Hmm, I believe there is a way to connect IB into excel. Maybe it could be charted in there based on the native spreads like you said. I will see if I can figure something out on it

I checked the curve and definitely agree that seems a bit out of whack. I have an order sitting there, but I doubt I will get filled on it tonight.

What do you all use for tracking the curves in near real time? IB's term structure chart lags behind a day I believe which is kind of annoying. I guess I could build a spreadsheet to download the info into perhaps. I don't mind it being delayed a little, I just don't like getting on at midnight...

I don't necessarily desire to retire young, but I do desire to be well off while I'm young so I can do whatever I want hobby wise. I would love to buy farmland and fill a shed with ATV's, Dirtbikes, etc, have a boat, fun stuff outside....currently I spend just about all that I make though and...

It depends what kind of degree you are talking about. While in school I had my first kid, worked full time, and will be finishing up my finance degree next semester. It will take me 5 years from when I started. I could have done it faster but had lots of scheduling issues. They only offered a...

June/Dec was the spread I was trading. But no I understand from following VIX, room for big moves against you in front spreads, but nonetheless less of a move than an outright

Yes, the spreads tightened today. I made some on Friday expecting them to widen back out when the curve got a little funky. Today I did the same also, but I am sitting on my hands for this afternoon to see how things play out a little more.
