What happened if you can share ?

Been a long term subscriber to both. Anybody know why TASC no longer publishes ESignal code?

Thank you all.

I want to build and backtest options strategies for futures options and stock/etf options. Also want to be able to scan for opportunities around those strategies. Which software would you recommend? thanks

I've been investing in farmland. excellent inflation hedge and a little annual yield

thank you.

Which platforms or software packages do a great job of letting one customize technical indicator scans? i'm wanting something that can handle futures as well as stocks. I have ESignal MarketScreener plus but it is very limited in what it can do the way it seems. Thx GM

Anybody know what became of William R Gallacher, author of Winner Take All?

well, that report back in March would was construed as a little bullish for beans relative to corn. I'm telling you since that report, in my opinion, we've remained too wet and now some of those acres intended for corn....are going to beans....because we are going to start getting late for corn...

Corn crop conditions are less than ideal as well imo.

Yes, I can't get on either.

yes, margins are good currently.

The actual "operating costs" of north american crush plants usually run around 40 to 50c per bu. Utilities, labor, shrink, depreciation etc.

Brownsfan is right. Soybeans usually are quite volatile. Stick to the contracts with the most volume. July and Nov soybeans are fundamentally the most relevant months to the commercials. December and July corn futures contracts are the most used by corn hedgers.

Quoting IOWA farmland prices is akin to a teenager getting quotes on a ferrari for his first car. There are opportunities out there, but you will get reamed buying Iowa/Minnesota land right now. There are 50 states and there is farmland for sale in all of them. Right now, i know of raw ag land...

The Chinese And they have missiles.......

Farmland is not tough to invest in. Probably the most passive/easy of ALL real estate investments. You buy it, rent it out. No plumbing to fix. No shingles blowing off. Don't have to collect rent every month. But don't just take my word for it...
