Corn
Puts are incredibly cheap protection here.
I just bought March and May corn futures hedged with puts.
March corn 217 hedged with 220 put for 11
May corn 225 hedged with 220 put for 8.5

Maximum risk on March is 8 points ($400)
Maximum risk on May is 13.5 points ($675)

Incredible amount of time on these plays for known small risk.

The presidential tax commission is condsidering capping the mortgage interest deduction at a mortgage balance of $300,000. They are also considering the flat tax. Apparently the VAT is off the table.
