Walter,
It's always fun to catch a top. Momentum oscillators can be stunningly
accurate or incredibly early and therefore, very frustrating. There was a
time, early in this trade, that the funds were long 80,000 corn and still
short 10,000 wheat. At the time, I thought that maybe the funds were about
at their risk capacity (for exposure to one single commodity). Sometimes
the fund movement reminds me of "bullish consensus": If 90% of the people
surveyed say that corn is going up, no one is left to buy. If the funds
already own 80,000 - 90,000 contracts (I think a record for corn), chances
are (and here is where this "thinking part" gets dangerous) that they will
liquidate, instead of build a larger position. Whatever is going on, the
momentum oscillator is diving south again. The Bollinger Momentum
Oscillator ("BB Thingy") provided two days to sell into it's overbought
condition. The funds are clumsy pests that cough up "chucks" of supply and
demand. Sometimes, you can get "slobbered" on even standing on the edge of
the action. It's always a thrill to witness the "group power" when they
unwind a position. How about this one: we're spread: short wheat/long
oats. This not a spread position ... but, the outright mechanical approach
has created the artificial spread. At least it's working.
Take care...always fun(z),
Steve Karnish
