Maybe I should give up the ol' spoos! Heck, with you as a grain expert and Tom continually telling me the bonds are easier, why am I beating my head against the wall! :) You never seem to find an ending to your continual moving of something, fixing of something, painting of something...well you get the idea.... Heck, I will get it all back and then some in due course. The hit was unfortunate, but all a matter of learning. Not sure what I learned! :) Actually, I have a couple of ideas on the last trade that would have made it better, but now I have to make sure to incorporate those ideas.... Glad things are well in your neck of the woods. -Scott PS - Tonic, elixer, whatever you got, send it up and I will be ready to rock the pits!

>>I went short the following contracts earlier this morning S9H soybeans at 494 3/4 W9H wheat at 259 SM9H soybean meal at 130 BO9H soybean oil at 20.77 << Well Nemer, for a guy who has not trade futures before, when you do it you sure go into it in a decisive way!! Lots of beans and derivatives --why is that, I wonder Re there being other markets that are easier to trade than the spoo -- that's the truth for sure. But I guess what draws one to it is the fact that one can make -- and lose -- money very quickly. Almost like playing the nets -- with 10% margin!! Can you imagine what would happen to the equities if that were allowed. But then in the 20s that was how it was, I understand! Now waiting to see you trade the bellies!!:)
