I bought cocoa this week when it went down, on a limit order.  Sold it when 
it went up, on a limit order.  Bought it again when it went back down.  I'd 
like to see it keep going up, of course, since I'm long more than one 
contract, the rest from higher prices, but this sort of 
manipulation/oscillation is bread on the table, as Bill likes to say.
