I've been following WEAT since you posted this--thank you! The pundits keep saying the price of wheat is going to soar yet WEAT is down to $10.50? I can't tell if it's being manipulated or if the doomsday click-generating media is making things worse than they really are.Farmer @ Johnsongrass, TX said:Article from May 18th - Pratt, KS - hard red wheat country.Farmer @ Johnsongrass, TX said:Entry PointTubTub said:
Interested to know your price outlook on WEAT, SOYB, and CORN. Still holding or exiting in the next week?
CORN = $29.63
SOYB = $28.66
WEAT = $10.99
Today's Close
CORN = $29.23
SOYB = $28.27
WEAT = $11.90
The only one of these 3 that has a near term chance for a pop is WEAT. WEAT is a fund of Futures traded on the Chicago Exchange (soft wheat). The wheat of concern is hard red winter wheat and that's traded on the Kansas City Exchange. So, we have the right crop picked (wheat) but the wrong type (Soft and not Hard Red). The action will be in the Kansas City pit with some spill over into Chicago. Most folks diving into this stuff don't know this detail and most think "wheat is wheat" and that's fine. I am going to enter a sell order at $12.25. I think it has a good chance to hit that number.
CORN and SOYB, I hate to bail on these, but I just want my money back. I will enter orders at cost. If you plan to hold these, I'd exit before the end of June.
If holding for longer than June, I would pick WEAT as the longer term hold.
Basically, my entry points sucked. It happens.

This is bullish wheat.
Maybe I am setting my sights to low at $12.25..
