Comments for Tuesday, November 9, 2010

Looking Ahead to Today by Reflecting Back at Monday’s Price Action

Futures and options trading is speculative in nature and involves substantial risk of loss. Futures and options trading is not suitable for all investors.

GRAINS:

CROP PRODUCTION. USDA SUPPLY/DEMAND. Higher closes yesterday for Minneapolis and Chicago wheat along with rough rice and oats while lower for soybeans, soymeal, soyoil, corn and Kansas City wheat. Corn settled lower but is in a small BULL PENNANT and should continue higher overall unless the crop production report disagrees. Oats settled higher continuing to look strong overall. Rice followed through higher once settling on its high of the move causing a most likely temporary DOUBLE TOP. The bean complex closed lower this time with the oil making its highest high since September 9th in reversal type action but looking very bullish overall. DON’T FORGET THE GRAINS TEND TO FILL A MAJORITY OF THEIR GAPS and there are gaps in KC wheat, corn, beans and meal so be sure to take this into consideration when taking POSITIONS. BUY SIGNALS FOR MINNEAPOLIS WHEAT, OATS, ROUGH RICE, SOYBEANS, SOYMEAL AND SOYOIL. CALL FOR DETAILS!
