Both Cattle Contracts Limit Down Again

Feeders down 9.25 cents $(4625 per futures)

Live Cattle down 7.25 cents ($2900 per futures)

 

The Cattle Complex has been devastated during the past few weeks, and while I personally remain short, and do think this collapse has a LONG way to go, I cannot recommend entering new positions at current levels. For one thing, with the limit down closes today, and pools of contracts of traders attempting to sell, but could not, there is no telling what tomorrow’s opening and ensuing trade will be…especially considering that the daily limit will be expanded to 13.75 cents in Feeders and 10.25 in Live Cattle…Volatility is through the roof, making options prohibitively expensive, and regarding new positions, I think it best to wait for some sort of consolidation and/or upside retracement to either short futures or buy puts…But make no mistake…I REMAIN SHORT and REMAIN BEARISH and FULLY EXPECT TO SEE BOTH CONTRACTS GO DISATROUSLY LOWER OUT INTO EARLY NEXT SPRING.

 

 

But I AM NOW ABSOLUTELY BULLISH CORN, COTTON, WHEAT AND SOYBEANS…

 

Just for brevity, here’s the Soybean contract which closed into new 1 year highs again today…and quite honestly, with this background of a China deal having been made…AND the fact that the Supreme Court may be cancelling this whole tariff thing, MY SENSE IS THAT SOYBEANS COULD BE IN A TOTAL LIFT OFF MODE…And whether you use the 2&1 (which is smart) or just buy them outright, I THINK THIS IS A GREAT, GREAT BET…AND IMMEDIATELY SO.

 

 

The Big Picture…

 

Get in touch if you want to know more…

 

Thanks,
