  1. I agree but at $.50 per penny this pig will hold 10 contracts with little or no slippage.

  4. 40 bucks possible??

    Sugar went from 5 cents to 50 cents or something back in the 70s. If history repeats itself, we still have lots of room to go.

    But i have to admit i cant be involved because i dont have the guts.

  9. 150k across the board Wags (July did 50k too). I would guess that's as much as Gold trades each day. Also keep in mind that the fronts were locked up limit for a while which brings volume to a stand still.

  10. Feels like a top in wheat. I think he blew his load today. There isn't much that will top what happened today, I think the short side now is in much stronger hands than at the beginning of the day.
    I wouldn't be surprised to see wheat weakness for the next several days.
