    Matthew does not bold words seeking alpha does and speaking of first grade this name calling is uncalled for.

  • Today in Commodities: Suspend Your Disbelief [View article]

    Who's the Jackass now? Report written in Nov 08' when prices of silver were $9/ounce. Pacwoman maybe you should look at our recent posts before making any rash judgements on our trades. And yes guilty as charged I took a weeks vacation, I suggest you need some time off work as you seem to be very angry.

  • Today in Commodities: A Fed Non-Decision [View article]
    I think I speak for 2000 of our 2100+ followers we liked it better when you were not a follower. You had voiced several months ago that you were done following but your back we ask WHY?? For starters understand I run a commodity brokerage firm; we trade on behalf of clients 50+ commodities this is not a silver firm. I have trailed stops for some of our aggressive clients and lightened up on futures for others while some have left the trade all together. As for options this market is too volatile to trails stops so I left the trade all together..albeit too early when looking in hindsight. What you and many fail to recognize is LEVERAGE, you own most likely 100 shares of SLV and have made a few dollars while every $1 move in the futures market on a standard 5000 ounce contracts equates to $5,000/contract. You do the math!! All though silver has been a great market of late lets look at some of the other commodities that you fail to follow and clients have been involved.....in the last 3 months cocoa 29 year high, sugar 33 year high, coffee 13 year high, cotton 15 year high, cattle near record high, gold record high, corn 2 1/2 year high, Japanese Yen 15 year high and the list goes on... I think you see the point. When silver corrects as it always does clients will be advised to gain bullish exposure again.

  • Today in Commodities: Living Up to Expectations [View article]
    Hammer
    Did someone hit you in the head with a hammer? I am long $1 call spreads not futures so though clients are down they are still in expecting a move higher. See previous posts. Clients that listened to me are down in this trade but most are also long sugar and silver from much lower levels. It is called diversification.

  • Today In Commodities: Bloodbath In The Metals Complex [View article]
    "You are only good as your last trade"...the call you speak was 1 of many calls in the last four months. I have had several profitable and several unprofitable trades in the last 4 months. Why you focus on 1 call is beyond me?

  • Today in Commodities: False Hope [View article]
    I don't feel comfortable being short gold, silver or crude oil in this environment. You do not have to agree that's what makes a market. I'm more interested in getting clients long from lower levels.

  • Today in Commodities: Trading Around the Core [View article]
    Usually I frown on your posts because you bash every one and brag about how good silver has been to you but this post I actually like. I am in the process of setting up a commodity CTA; the minimum will be $50,000 and it will be 100% discretionary traded by yours truly. We hope to launch it in May and investors will be able to track the performance month to month with audited track records. This forum is used so existing and prospective clients can see what my take is on commodities. I've yet to find a client in my ten years trading that agrees with all our trades. Additionally there will be times where we have many wining strategies and others where we have a number of losing strategies. My goal in the long run is to help educate commodity investors and show them a way to diversify their portfolios away from the traditional asset classes. Jimbo understand the percentages state a high majority of investors that trade commodities are not successful...we try to help that. The most significant difference between our current company and how the CTA will operate is as follows; currently clients are able to pick and chose between all our trade recommendations and also trade their own account and the fund will be 100% discretionary. I will let you and others know when we launch but it is looking like May presently.

    154 refers to yield in corn not the price...just to clarify.

    I run a commodity brokerage firm "MB Wealth" and these clients are investors that trade through us. I have no cousin Ed and I go to a barber not a hair stylist.

  • Today In Commodities: Wheat Hits Lowest Level In 5 Months [View article]
    There is nothing low risk when trading natural. I would not suggest opening a fresh position here. I'd prefer to be a buyer from lower levels.

  • Commodity Chart Of The Day: Euro Currency [View article]
    The dollar is down 33% in the last last decade...the bounce I am forecasting to the 20 day MA is far from a bullish development. It represents a 1.1% appreciation.
    To answer the question...planet Earth.
