RNO – Corn
I know you are a good farm commodity trader, but DO be careful for the abrupt and drastic manipulation that happens in this market in the fall when producers like ADM need to buy corn. They will step on the rising market hard to pick up their needed corn on the cheap.
Conditions remind me of the last century (90s?) when we had a midwest drought and the corn was all stunted. I visited the midwest and saw the fields myself. Barely knee high corn in AUGUST that year…. what wasn’t brown and being plowed under.
I figured it was like shooting fish in a barrel as I was trading commodities at the time. Levered into corn, and as it rose I had a $50k paper profit, with good trailing stops on Friday.
Over the weekend some massive outfit (ADM?) stepped HARD on the market. Monday morning I found the market opened far BELOW my stops, and I went from a $50k profit to a $50k margin call! That was the end of my commodity trading, the end of my IRA (cashed out to pay margin call) and a massive credit card debt that eventually led to a bankruptcy.
Later I figured stocks were a better investment, but no… the manipulation was there, also. This is why I don’t touch paper at all, any more.
R640 corn
I need to look at the schedule to confirm the date but a grain report is coming soon. The scum normally pushes the market opposite of the report. I plan on being long corn before the report.
Stock market looks weak and could break hard. That would be supportive of grains when the money rolls out of the stock market.
Inverted yield curve indicates a coming recession so act accordingly ”

Jessie was a Street kid ……”Reminiscences of a Stock Operator” is well worth reading
Sponsored
Jesse Livermore had this to say about such moments…
“After spending many years in Wall Street and after making and losing millions of dollars I want to tell you this: it never was my thinking that made the big money for me. It was always my sitting. Got that? My sitting tight!
It is no trick at all to be right on the market. I’ve known many [traders] who were right at exactly the right time, and began buying or selling stocks when prices were at the very level that should show the greatest profit. And their experience invariably matched mine; that is, they made no real money out of it. [Traders] who can both be right and sit tight are uncommon. I found it one of the hardest things to learn. But it is only after a stock operator has firmly grasped this that he can make the big money.” — Jesse Livermore
Reminiscences of a Stock Operator is a 1923 roman à clef by American author Edwin Lefèvre which is the thinly disguised biography of Jesse Lauriston Livermore. The Wall Street Journal described the book as a “classic”, it was ranked #15 on ‘Fortune’s 75 The Smartest Books We Know’, and Alan Greenspan said it is “a font of investing wisdom.”

What I thought from the beginning about this one is this is a gold move, not a sliver move. Sliver might benefit but basically a gold move.

Commercials still pressing in gold against the funds, but not in silver.
Course, these reports haven’t meant much for the last couple of months.
Jefferson made the Louisiana Purchase
that enables us to export food today and feed us very well… today he is called a RACIST !
What the Fuck ! ,thats gratitude for ya !
The whole mid West with the Mississippi RIVER ..the Bread Basket of America that feeds us and allows us to export to help the rest of the World ..Jefferson did it and now the IDIOTS that come out of our Colleges call him a RACIST !

Yeah, scum might win the battle today, as I see they’ve brought the DOW back, but right now they appear to be losing the war. I see a few silver stocks like SSRM getting hit for a couple %.
I do remember when we used to get crushed in the last hour of every trading day for at least the last seven years. Not so much anymore, seems like dip buyers on the momentum side are looking for ever opportunity to get on the train these days.
Maybe I’m too optimistic, I just don’t think getting the DOW back to flat is anything like what we’ve seen for all these years.
Pierre talks about the DOW GOLD RATIO ….its time has come ..He didnt know when,but I think its now !
If China buys food elsewhere
they will pay and PAY and PAY higher prices nobody sells food a cheap as American farmers.
then what happens when places like Brazil have a drought ,then what ? WE wont be so kind to China they better be careful what they say ! If they are smart they will say “thank you for your past business”we look forward to doing business again…thats the right responce…!

FOOD Exports should plunge if crops are small,we need to eat FIRST ,then China can fend for themselves .America FIRST ! Get real people ! Its not a crisis for us if we dont export food ,its a CRISIS for them !

A Farm crisis is when theres not enough food to eat ..this is not a crisis when we got corn to convert into FUEL thats not a crisis .When China dosent have enough food to eat …thats a crisis … We can always print money to keep the farmers going ..thats not a crisis,yes its better if they can export ! BUT to call it a crisis is a play with words to get sympathy …If China dosent have enough food to eat they will change their mind in an instant about buying American Soybeans .
Everything is NOT a crisis until you dont have enough to eat,then you got a crisis .THATS why we as a country have price supports for farmers ,its good business to keep them going or WE dont eat…..then we got a real problem…WE are blessed with good Farm land and a diversified climate
if one part of the country is in drought another can take up the slack….

scum appears scared to death to have a down SM going into the weekend.
and Zerohedge keep trying to say the PPT is in chaos….yet the SM and Dollar are trading as per…the chaos idea may be camouflage, for they have lost control of PM’s…. but then I see SSRM getting clubbed for 3.00 and Ag is Flat…..
Maddog
One thing for sure. We are trading inverse the stock market today.
Scum appears scared to death to have a down SM going into the weekend.
Looks like scum are back to make sure $1500 doesn’t feature for the weekend
and that their beloved SM has a strong bid attached….the games continue…today SSRM is being clubbed in the silver stocks.
Food prices in China must be flying. How much extra corn are we gonna have anyway with all the flooding in the Midwest? RNO what do you think of this? Is the corn crop looking better than they say?
