CATTLE MARKET TRULY BEGINNING TO CRASH

And ROW CROPS STARTING TO LIFT OFF

 

What to say? Locked limit down in Feeders for the 2nd day in a row, with today’s expanded limit to 13.75 cents meaning they have now dropped 44 cents, or $22,000 per futures contract, during the 7 trading days…with Live Cattle having been hit for 27 cents, or $10,800 per contract at the same time. AND I FIRMLY BELIEVE THEY ARE JUST GETTING STARTED…

 

With action like you can see on the chart below, I have zero doubt that the MASSIVE Long Position held by Speculative Funds is now beginning a forced liquidation (SELLING). Next, put that together with the fact that the equally massive positions held by actual Feeder Cattle buyers are now also LOSING big bucks (and I assure you, are NOT even thinking of stepping up to buy again)…and then what you DO have is the scenario I've been describing as, AN AVALANCHE OF SELLING AND A VACUUM OF BUYING, which does typically result in a GIGANTIC STRAIGHT DOWN TRADE...And I firmly believe that is exactly what we are starting to see now.

 

 

There’s no point here in showing you option prices t as tomorrow’s opening trade will probably not be anything close to where prices finished today.

I will say this however: Do NOT be thinking, “Oh. I missed it.” Take a look at this next chart and do understand that NOTHING HAS REALLY HAPPENED YET…that all we really have is what I’d call a high probability confirmation that the top is in…And that there is still a LONG, LONG WAY TO GO ON THE DOWNSIDE. It is not even close to be too late to get on this…

No idea what tomorrow’s open will be…or what option prices will make sense…Give me a call if you want ideas as to how to go about getting on…

Buy the USA Row Crops

As noted last week, after 3 ½ years of being bearish Corn, Wheat and Soybeans, I have reversed my opinion and now see the past year’s action as having formed a major bottom in all three…and also including Cotton…and that it is now time to BUY ALL FOUR OF THEM. My basic premise, aside from the fact that they have had ample time and opportunity to break down lower during the past 5-6 months…and they did NOT…my perception has become that the current mob psychology attitude towards all of these crops had finally become overwhelmingly negative, with any number of analysts who for 3 bearish years have been unendingly bullish, NOW talking in terms of “no where to go but down from here,” citing the trade war, record crops, and “no place to store it all,” with all of these “reasons” being exactly the kind of talk you DO get grain market bottoms.

I summed it up with: Virtually all of the news currently out there is horribly negative and the fact that it has NOT broken the markets is quite possibly a sign that we have bottomed and that ANY good news will produce a significant rally.

And that IS what I think we started to see today…LED BY SOYBEANS, UP 25 CENTS & MAKING NEW ONE YEAR HIGHS…

WHAT TO DO HERE…NOW

I’m keeping this short. My recommendation is to buy “units” of 1 call each in Corn, Cotton, Soybeans and Wheat…and forget you own them for the next 3-4 months. If I am wrong about all of them, you could lose every dollar you invest. If I get just one right, and the rest dead wrong, I still think you will probably come out a little bit ahead…And beyond that, you can do the math as to where you will be if I get 2,3 or all 4 right.

HERE ARE THE OPTIONS I LIKE HERE…RIGHT HERE…RIGHT NOW AS THEY DO LOOK LIKE THEY ARE ON THE MOVE…

I say BUY THEM All…or just buy some of them…but definitely do SOMETHING while they are here…and appearing to be beginning potentially big moves higher. Buying All Four will cost about $4331…So just do the math yourself as to what could happen here…And it may be a dumb statement to make, but for my money, I think it is close to impossible that none of them will have made some sort of significant move on the upside  between now and March.

Call me if you want to know more…

Thanks,

Bill
