Welcome to the group KTSinvest.
You will find a lot of information from WEagle, and a wee bit from me, about stocks that we post here for comments from others. What I might see in a chart, someone else may notice something else. We all learn from one another.
I had to smile when I read this, as that is what I did when I lived in a small farming community in western Oklahoma.
"He tracked commodities (beef, pork, corn, wheat, soybeans - items that were grown locally) all on big charts he had on the walls of his office (graph paper, pens, and a ruler......)"
I do not remember if it was 1986 or 87, when wheat had a major spike. I went across the street and told my neighbor if he was holding wheat to take to the marker, to do so right away. The next day he told me he did and that it was at the high for the day before it began to decline, which continued for the rest of the year. I do not trade in commodities, but I do still follow what they are doing to get an idea how our economy is really doing.
Good to have you with us.
