Sorry for the double post, but in reading my last note, I decided I should 
clarify a little.  I did not actually go short at 972, I exited one of my 3 
longs.  I re-entered (bought it back) yesterday at 920.  I'll buy another if 
the price drops to around 850.  Of course it would have been more profitable 
this time to have reversed all three contracts and been truely short, but 
what if cocoa had continued to climb, as it someday will.  This way I don't 
have to predict the turns, I just have to have patience and be sure that I'm 
adequately capitalized to ride out a larger that expected drawdown.
