the WSJ article on CSCO is a classic,

so good especially Ed Kerschner's comments that
I have to save it for posterity.

It's hard to envision this leg down ending without
CSCO going to it's 200 dma at 48.

It does have some pretty good support from 63 to 67 but....

you know the seasonals on corn are much different during the
1990's, than from the mid 70's to 1990.

However meaningful draught considerations obviously override
any seasonal tendencies.

The results depicted above are based on an average of the
weekly price during the weeks of entry and exit. Simulation
would put this year?s entry during the week of April 3-7 and
exit during the week of November 20-24.

Traditionally, corn prices tend to establish a high
during June, then decline into harvest. However, in
the last decade, a shift in behavior has developed.
In the 1990s, the seasonal peak tended to occur in
the March?April period.
These two patterns may
be seen on the accompanying chart. The table
presents all years since 1970 with the last decade
below the horizontal line. In the latter timeframe, the
average gain per contract would have been $2,020
in eight of the ten winning years. In the two
remaining years, the average loss per contract
would have been $2,497.
