Thanks, maybe I'll just stick with the oil & gas exploration & production stocks.

When you are playing the long-term trends, how do you deal with the blips that inevitably occur along the way? I understand that if the market moves against you even a small amount you can get huge margin calls due to the high leverage that a commodity futures contract has vs. owning the commodity itself.

Hello Robert,

"I play only those things that I know and play them for long term trends - sometimes multi-year trends."

Do mind me asking what if any long term trends your currently playing? I've recently become quite bullish on commodities in general and was wondering what a person who has been at it a while sees in the charts.

Thanks

Scott
