Special report on Cotton---

and

ALL four row crops

Looking Very Bullish

 

As I wrote two weeks ago, I am now long Corn, Cotton, Soybeans and Wheat…that the past year’s sideways action, combined with what seems to be just an overwhelming mountain of negative opinion, has led me to conclude that all of these markets have bottomed…And that furthermore, I could envision ANY good news absolutely lighting a fire underneath them…And vis-à-vis this weekend’s news regarding China, I THINK THAT LAST WEEK AN ACROSS-THE-BOARD BULL MARKET GOT STARTED IN ALL FOUR OF THESE ROW CROPS.

 

MY RECOMMENDATION IS TO OWN ONE CALL IN ALL OF THEM AS ONE “UNIT,” TO BUY THEM HERE…AND FORGET THEM FOR THE NEXT 2-3 MONTHS.

 

With closes on their weekly highs in all of them Friday, combined with China’s announcement yesterday to suspend “all regulatory tariffs that it has announced since March 4, 2025,” I have no idea what sort of openings we will get in these markets tonight and tomorrow morning…Nevertheless, further below I will include option recommendations in each market…

 

But first…some specifics on the COTTON MARKET…which I truly regard as being potentially explosive.

 

I have been pointing out that Cotton routinely seems to make 30-50 cent swings every few years, and that, after being dead sideways in a 6-7 cent range for the past year, and with Speculative Funds having a massive short position, I THINK COTTON IS FLATASS READY TO GO ON THE UPSIDE…And what follows may seem like gobbledygook but if you wade through each step below I think you will be able to understand why I am so IMMEDIATELY BULLISH…

 

Start with this…

 

Now looking back at the past year…and more specifically, what has been happening since July 1st

 

Aside from the fact that Funds are RECORD SHORT, while Commercial Traders are RECORD LONG (not shown here), what really interests me is the 100,000 contract increase in Fund shorts that has occurred since July 1st. During these last 4 months Cotton has traded between 68 & 64 cents, which would mean that their average entry price is probably somewhere close to 66 cents...not to mention that this is basically the same level at which they have entered this massive Short Position during the past year...meaning that ANY further upside move from here could/should see them being "forced" into buying...and per the numbers, doing so in a BIG WAY.

 

 

And here is the near term…And which is the point of all this...

Even though the explosion I am anticipating will be led by the December, ALL of the Cotton contracts will be rallying as well, and I therefore think you can position in any of them all the way out to the July contract. At this moment, however, as outlined in my last newsletter, I am sticking with the March.

 

SOYBEANS


WHEAT

CORN

 

Take you pick. I think they are ALL going on the upside. Buy one, or two or all of them…for about $4200. As I’ve said before, if I am dead wrong on all of them, you lose the $4200…But having just one of them work probably makes the whole thing a bit profitable…and getting 2, 3 or 4 right would add up to substantial gains.

Thanks,

Bill
