I agree except like AAA said, if it gives him Iowa it may have been worth it as long as it doesn't get out of hand. My enthusiasm for Trump dropped dramatically when that shrill voice brought back all the bad memories.

when cl went over $100 the world stopped working properly. Now we are seeing when it goes below $30 the same thing.

yep that's about right, except drought and boll weevils should make cotton go up. otherwise, there is no sense in hedging a futures position. Futures are the hedge. If you try to hedge futures you are just trying to hedge the hedge of the hedge. For a small retail trader hedging only makes...
