Capital Market Comment | Commodities Comment | Futures Trade Idea 1: Corn & W

Mr. Market has begun to show clear signs of split personality disorder in recent weeks. Now that investors have exhaled in relief that a deflationary apocalypse has been avoided, the new reality of reflation and stagnation is sinking in…

Corn, soybeans & wheat prices all popped at the end of last week. Will wet weather and delayed plantings keep prices rising, or is this rally unsustainable?

Our catalyst today is the payroll data at 8:30 am. Not much to say, other than for short term trades I remain flexible to trade either side, and if you're a long term investor (1 year+), save your money! Until the action heats up, I won't lean one way or the other...

The Bank of England just made a "surprise" move, and lowered rates by 1.5%, a full point more than expected. As the central banks desperately try to reflate, in the face of market forces, I remain flexible to trade either side. Traders married to just one side cannot know whether the light at the end of the tunnel is enlightenment...

It's possible I get some very short term setups, but I am careful of what I trade. I'm more likely to get long JPY (yen futures), rather than mess with the constantly evolving game in US equities. I know several traders that scored...

Too often traders not only have an opinion, but become inflexible. Direction is never a definite, but rather a probability. It's easy after a good day to convince yourself you "know something". Don't get off track...

Rather than add to the confusion and re-hash the same stories, I'm writing this brief post to share how I'll handle the turmoil. First, current positions are hanging tough, so no action necessary unless stopped out of PGH...

Stocks are getting smashed again this morning. After reviewing my recent trades, I am comfortable that I executed properly and according to my system. However, I do have one regret. The one theme I have believed in most (lower equities) has been working...

After being one of the first websites/blogs to spot the FNM/FRE takeover by Uncle Sam here, I've decided to let others write about the bailout specifics. Suffice it to say, this is nothing more than an attempt to get investors...

Payroll figures will be released at 8:30 am. Although I don't trade on analysis of the data, I often find market moving numbers to provide a catalyst for entry. One must think of where the opportunity to surprise lies...

I'm seeing several potential trade setups, but continue to wait for the markets to tip their hand. After stopping out of Treasury bond futures (short), this signal is still considered valid...

By now, readers should know the way to trade September is the same way as any other month. This morning will knock commodities and bonds lower, while equities...

It's premature to start buying stocks for a bounce, in my opinion. It appears I also covered my shorts too soon, although I've had a decent run lately. The "press" keeps reminding us that the $USD is oversold and about to strengthen...

Instead of getting any closer to resolution, the conflict between the government and the Argentine farmers worsens with each passing day. The government does not seem to understand that the situation is more than simply a conflict with a particular sector, for Argentine society as a whole is against the current policy being waged by the government.
