I felt like I had a pretty loose stop but they still got caught in a flash down. Would be up even bigger had I not. Oh well, $500 I didn't have when the morning started.

If TSLA breaks 1026.25, above the top of the recent range, it could run. It still feels like chasing though, so I have a hard time getting in more than a lotto.

I think TSLA reverses to the upside again, but still waiting to confirm before even dipping toes.
I decided not to chase CMG. Quite $$$ pricy. But it's up today good. Congrats if u took it.

Today, I'm buying XOM, BG, MOS, CORN, WEAT, SOYB.
Seasonality on ag commodities appears not to be holding in most sectors. Dips/setbacks just aren't happening.
XOM, will likely hold until May dividend and then re-evaluate. (non ag, but just saying I'm buying)
BG, largest soy processor in the world. Veg Oil supply on most minds. Shares should go to $150. Likely not a buyer after that and only hold position; however, it could drift up to $300 over 2 years. 2 years would be a cycle to get bean S&D back to normality. Would be out of this stock before the end of 2 years if thoughts were to hold long term. Earnings report the end of this month. (Side Note: Their CEO, we use to trade against each other. One of their Board members, PE Fund of a project I worked for. Both of these guys know the biz. Have great respect for both.)
MOS, this one should nearly double from here (150-ish).
As noted above, seasonality not showing itself this year.
Spring Wheat planting in northern clim's delayed...not warming up fast enough with snow on the ground to allow for planting(we got snow on Holy Saturday). Relatives in Bismarck, ND got 16 inches on Holy Thursday. Those acres could go to beans or corn. Last ag update I gave I said corn could be bigger story than wheat. Looks like wheat is repositioning itself to maintain top story line with Spring wheat situation occurring.
Soy crushers making money hand-over-fist, historic. The counter to the profit comment is "costs" have gone up....dont care...costs can go up 2X and these guys will still print money.
Both beans and corn planting progress across U.S. is slow. Weather is not cooperating.
The CORN position, I'll likely be out around Memorial Day as noted previously. Memorial Day exit is super strong seasonal. If this seasonality indicator fails, hang on for a wild ride in commodities and get ready for a new experience at the grocery store.
WEAT and SOYB positions, likely exit before end of June, but may rethink these ones.
China looking to buy corn and beans. South America keeps getting their bean crop estimates reduced.
Article just published on Market-Watch. Yellen is probably right on this one.

Pretty much the same boat I'm in. Made a nice profit in my day trading account, but I've been hit hard in my long account. I keep telling myself that the mutual funds are down nearly as much so it isn't my lack of skill, but -50% smarts.

Good article. It's all truth. No, or less, fertilizer gives reduced yields. Lessened crop yields, prices go up.
$PLTR looking really squeeze right now
If it can break through $13 it could run another buck pretty quickly

Nasdaq burned through its bearish setup today.
Trade is up about 3%. My thinking is we hold this and see what happens. If the setup fails, we won't get smoked on premium.

Thanks, I've seen a lot of articles predicting severe food shortages in Q3 or Q4 this year. I'm not saying I'm buying it, but making mental reminders for myself.Farmer @ Johnsongrass, TX said:

Same as any scenario, recoup some of the premium you're paying for the lower strike. In this case it was so i could get a $3.28 discount on the 55c

At this point I am not sure there would be food shortages. My definition of "food shortage" is, there would be no supply of some particular item(s). I think all food items will be present in the supply chain, but distribution to all customer locations could be intermittent...a disrupted supply chain causing an outage. And, of course, a disrupted supply chain will come with increased prices. Probably splitting hairs, but that's my definition.
Moving forward, if harvest this year is short, then mid to late 2023 could see some what I call "food shortages" of certain food items.
