John,

   At $2.70, wheat is not all that cheap. $2 is cheap for wheat.  My picks
last fall were
Copper, Cotton, Coffee, Soybeans, & Sugar.  I have since exited the Copper
for approx. a 12 cents ($3,000 per contract), and I exited the part of my
cotton longs that I bought at 28.20 cents at circa 39.20 cents ($5,000 per
contract). 28 cents for cotton is cheap. Adjusted for inflation, this was
cheaper than the 8 cent low it made at the bottom of the 1930s depression.
Did you happened to notice the huge breakout to the upside for cotton today?
It exploded over its recent six month consolidation highs.  Please find
below two cotton charts for your perusal. My study of 200 years of cotton
prices revealed that cotton is a very trending market. Once it picks a
direction, it goes and goes.
My study also indicated that once a major low was in place, it usually
recovered 20-30 within about six months.  Currently, cotton is running a
little behind my expected schedule.
However, it seems that the news today revealed that perhaps the cotton glut
will not be big as what was perceived. With further action such as today,
cotton could quickly make up for lost time and price.  Bottomline, I
wouldn't be surprised to see cotton back to the high 50s or low 60s in the
near future. It should be worth a bale of money. <G>

     If you missed buying cotton, there is still opportunity. Coffee & Sugar
are still relatively cheap.  I would also buy Soybeans on a pullback.

Cheers,

Bargain Hunter Norm

P.S. I went to the grocery today and found our favorite salad dressing, Paul
Newman's Caeser, on sale for about 1/3 off. I bought all they had.
