been following the Wheat comments with much interest, for I am of the opinion 
that the Wheat &quot;cash&quot; market is putting a long term bottom in the form 
of a Bullish Head &amp; Shoulders pattern<SPAN class=820220815-07101999><FONT 
color=#000000 face=Arial size=2> (one more slight pullback could be the right 
shoulder)</FONT></SPAN>.&nbsp; I like to run Elliott Wave software on a <A 
href="http://marketinterface.net/W_forecast.weekly.gif";>five year weekly cash 
chart</A>, and it indicates that the Bear Market that started in April of 1996 
is coming to an end<SPAN class=820220815-07101999><FONT color=#000000 face=Arial 
size=2> (one more pullback could be wave five of wave five)</FONT></SPAN>.&nbsp; 
When I see a setup like this I then look to a momentum oscillator on the <A 
href="http://marketinterface.net/W_obos.gif";>weekly cash and the daily nearby 
futures</A>.&nbsp; If the weekly cash oscillator is trending up from a<SPAN 
class=820220815-07101999><FONT color=#000000 face=Arial size=2>n 
</FONT></SPAN>oversold condition, I then look to the daily momentum oscillator

do I stand aside and wait for the weekly cash to pullback just a little more in 
order to complete the Elliott Wave pattern or the Right Shoulder ... then on the 
other hand the futures could move higher (for a while) as the cash works lower 
... could get out the old coin.</FONT></SPAN></FONT></SPAN></DIV>

    <DIV><FONT size=2>Talking about real trades here is one I am putting on 
    beginning this week. I have begun scaling into the wheat market. It looks 
    like the grains are heading for a double bottom and may&nbsp; take out 
    contract lows. I am buying the March 320 calls on every 10 cent decline in 
    the wheat market beginning at 280. Buying equal amounts at 280, 270, 260. It 
    has been my experience that when markets RE-TEST&nbsp; multi-year lows, that 
    is the time to buy them. Since I have no idea where the grains will 
    eventually bottom I will scale into the trade.&nbsp;Happy 
    trading.&nbsp;&nbsp; </FONT></DIV>

If Fleckenstein still has money or clients, they probably get together on
