I still haven\u2019t managed to cut my losses on soy and it looks like I may have missed my best opportunities. Last week I took what I thought would be a short term money making position on wheat. I took a long position and set a market order to offset it when the price rose by 2 cents a bushel. That has yet to happen, but looking at wheat\u2019s longer term price trend I\u2019m still hopeful. The 3 short contracts I have on corn are all in the money right now. When the price spiked over a week ago I took the opportunity to take short 2 contracts at 756\u20192. Now looking at prices of 742 I\u2019m feeling pretty good about that. I expected that Monday would see a small jump in the price of soybeans with the markets opening in China after the week off of trading but it seems I misjudged the effect that would have on demand. To this point I\u2019m down by about $6500 from the start of September, but I\u2019m still optimistic and learning valuable lessons every week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Currently I\u2019m sitting short on corn and long on wheat and soybeans.
