CATTLE ABOUT TO

BUST LOWER AGAIN…

The following announcement came out early this morning before the Cattle market opened:

 

 

I’m gonna tell you that a month ago, this sort of news would have seen Feeders open up 500 points and then go on to close limit up for the day. BUT…what we got this morning was a 350 point higher opening…which was IMMEDIATELY followed by an 1100 point down move that ended with a DEAD LOW CLOSE, down 9.30 cents for the day ($4650 per futures contract). And I will also tell you that a tremendously bearish response to bullish news is about as bearish as it gets…In other words, if a purportedly bullish statement by the US SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE didn’t rally the Cattle market, WHAT WILL?

 

The whole Cattle industry is long Live Cattle and Feeder Cattle up to the gills…EVERYBODY has bought everything they could stand…and then some…and 13 days ago we started a BEAR MARKET that a year from now will have ruined a whole bunch of people on the farms and especially in the feedlots. As I have repeatedly documented: Going back 50 years, when Feeder Cattle are beginning a bear market they typically drop about 20% in the first 8.5 weeks…And considering how absolutely batshit NUTS this market got on the upside, I can’t imagine anything less than a 25% decline over the next few months as this truly, truly becomes a NO BUYERS COLLAPSE.

 

I CONTINUE TO RECOMMEND BEING SHORT THE CATTLE COMPLEX…and will reiterate that it is NOT too late to get on board. This thing is just getting started and has a long, long way to go.

 

 

Truth is…There is probably more leverage here right now…at half the price.

 

I never know, but with today’s close, a gap down tomorrow is quite possible and the prices above may not be available. Nevertheless, I don’t care how much lower they open tomorrow, I will be continuing to short both contracts.

 

Why? BECAUSE NOTHING HAS REALLY HAPPENED YET…AND MY MINIMAL EXPECTATION IS WHAT I HAVE DRAWN BELOW.

 

Call if you want to know more…or want to get on…or GET BACK ON.

 

Thanks,

Bill
