    Don't Write off the Gold and Commodities Bull Run [view article]
    I suggest you see a therapist. You suffer from too many negative thoughts. Try this: sit in a room quietly for twenty minutes, collecting all your negative thoughts. Then rush to the bathroom and spit out violently. Turn on the sink and imagine the negative thoughts disappearing. This will help.

    The Professor Of Commodities: Interview with James Doran (Part II) [view article]
    It's not easy to be a professor in this forum, as I initially found out, but it soon became easy for me because I don't write or talk about things that I don't know more about than most people. Aside from that, it is certainly possible that Professor Doran knows more than I do about finance, because my interest in that topic has slackened, but as for oil and gas, 'he could have stood in bed', as somebody said.

    The basic problem is this: energy economics is still being taught by the wrong people, despite the fact that everybody has found out about the importance of this topic.

    Professor Ferdinand E. Banks (Fred)

    Stocks vs. Commodities: Which is a Better Investment? [view article]
    I am not sure why this is. Maybe owners of capital have more leverage than owners of commodities, geo-politically speaking. Reply

    I agree. Anyone that knows even a little about commodities knows that the prices fluctuate. Go back to teaching! Those that can, do, those that can't, teach. Reply

    Don't bother to read it twice because your first reading was correct: it is empty of meaning. Why ?? Reply

    Capitalize on Water Shortages With Grain ETFs [view article]
    John, much of the wheat grown in the US and practically all of the wheat grown in Kansas and Colorado is dry land farming - no irrigation whatsoever. Not that this takes away from the global water shortage, but just to keep the facts straight... Reply

    Agricultural Commodities: Beware the Harvest Moon Rising [view article]
    Halp,

    I think that is a good take on the "transitional&quo... aspect of ethanol. I have always felt that this was a stretegic move to get into this in the first place given the geopolitcal possibilities.

    I do think at some point in the future our grain will be used in our defense against the rest of our potential enemies with our food supply just as Russia is doing with energy to Europe.

    Whatever the downside of corn is I think it will just be temporary. That is not to say that lower prices will not be around long enough to hurt some farmers but low prices will subside if they occur.

    I have been looking at the corn around central Ohio and I do not see ths bumper crop that they are predicting. Some areas that I have viewed have water spots in the fields and the ears on average are only 60 to 80 % of recent years. There have been none that was viewed as large and noteworthy so this lower than normal prices may not occur at all.

    Bennie, Bennie whats with the romantic stuff???? (Ha ha)

    I dont think McCain will kill ethanol if he knows what is good for him.

    It is currently to big and to important..during this transitional phase of our "yet undetermined" national energy policy development, to knock off.

    Look for a reduction/elimination of the tarriff on its importation for sure. ( Sugar Ethanol-Brazil)

    Look for an increase in the blenders credit that most of the oil guys love to take.

    Look for some type of incentives for farmers to make up some of the
    slack as the corn price drops off.

    That way he wont totally, politically, alienate the (corn) ethanol power base and its positive effects on our terrible oil consumption problem.

    Is the Bloodbath in Commodities Coming to an End? [view article]
    yes, Of course trend has reversed. Whereas Crude oil and base metals are concerned they havent touched the bottom yet; we can expect price to fall further as fundamentals are weak. Reply

    A lot of newbies came into commodities the last few yrs,
    they don't know much.

    McCain is anti ethanol, its is wasteful and non contributory.
    That could kill corn.


    Next the crop is made, frost at this late date won't damage the crop much and odds are low anyway of an early frost.

    Harvest moom, sounds romantic though
