Morning Markets....

Exactly Fran. Exactly.

[furrowtickler]

Just made a deal today on all our w/wheat off board today. $5.40/bus and it's all gone cash money. Our w/wht low below 11 pro so no sense in waiting for a better price through the borg and only haul in 25%.

Fransisco,

I just LOVE how CWB VP of Sales Gord Flatten talks about how 'SMART' Allen, Cam, and Bill are in marketing grain.

This occurs from Minute 6 of Part 3 to Minute 8:&30sec. You can just move the 'progress button' loading from minute 6 and it starts in just a few seconds with Gord speaking! It is really cute!ould never differentiate between how smart these three CWB directors are!

I believe GORD!

GORD is right!

If these managers of the CWB sales... know this little about selling our grain... there is little wonder WHY we ALWAYS get the lowest price!

Think about it.

CO's 1. Allen, 2. Cam, and 3. Bill must not sell below their cost of sales if they operated in the REAL WORLD the rest of real grain marketers must operate in.

The only way these three could afford to dump and slash down $80/t to market clearing prices... is if each one of them had a 'Single buying desk' to take certain growers' grain WITHOUT them knowing what they were up to... or they would NEVER get permission to sell their grain!!!

If I were CWB VP of Sales Gord Flatten... I wouldn't expect any grain sales job offers any time soon!!!

This would be really funny... if it were not OUR grain... they were selling!!!

THE CWB admits to 1CWRS High Protein wheat... into the US... at a DISCOUNT of $80/mt... after the lower cost to transport domestic wheat to the domestic market?

ARE these guys for real???

[T.N.T.]

Had 50000 bushels of 38 pound barley finally found a buyer for it.P&H gave us $3.10 a bushel and they would take it all,we got 30000 bushels hauled and they told us to quit hauling.They got message from higher up telling them to quit buying last year barley,and just wait for new crop barley now.

[Cattleman]

Really Cotton? Your posts are the most important for guys to make marketings decisions for this years crop coming up to help manage their business? Yes there are alternative ways to incorporate bull positions..maybe in another thread?

Yes, I follow the bond markets and yields, and it is a very complex and UNCERTAIN market. I don't have answeres, and I don't know anyone who knows forsure what the implications will be when many economies actually address their fiscal challenges. Once these countries truely deal with their situation, and I mean actually deal with them in a way that satisfies the public, that it will forsure be bullish on commodities?? Nothing is foresure. All I know is that later in 2008 you posted on here that cattle futures were just making their next step and heading for the moon....I am sure glad I didn't listen to that!

[cottonpicken]

I do appologize for that last post,i had just read some scary economic stuff and was venting.

Are you sure your not talking about my nov 2010 post about cattle?

Coles note version-"cattle are breaking out"

And now lets look at what happened

http://charts.insidestocks.com/chart.asp?jav=adv&vol=Y&grid=Y&divd=Y&org=stk&sym= GFU1&data=H&code=BSTK&evnt=adv


Looky looky-who would have made money listening to cotton.

YOU-you **** stick,and i don't remember asking for a dime telling you what was happening.

And the markets are not some unconquerable puzzle that nobody can figure out.

I haven't had to change an opinion on them in 8 years.

[malleefarmer]

i remember cottons comment about heading to the moon it was prophetic and 1 zillion % correct i listen VERY closely when cotton imparts his wisdom.

[Cattleman]

Nope Cotton, it was 2008, and the exact opposite happened. Unfortunately not sure how to find it... so maybe I am just a liar, as cotton could not have been wrong.
I am certainly not saying that you don't add value to the discussions. Unfortunately for me, the attitude bothers me at times...just like the last post. That will part is up to me to deal with it.
Thankks for posting!

[checking]

"You guys have absolutely no clue."

"You-you **** stick ..."

There are a couple of defining moments, and even more telling when a supporter suggests that he "I listen very closely when cotton imparts his wisdom."

Good on you, cattleman, for standing your ground.

[cottonpicken]

Lol,Mallee and I be mates,he had the capacity see
through the fog of internet posting bias,along with
a few others here.-over years and years and years
ago,like 8 years ago when i was a real tough "pill"
to swallow.

And if you want me to pull up the cci
chart(continous commodity index),and say i hurt
people,by me being me,then i really will take you
out behind the perverbyable internet blogging
woodshed and paddle you so bad you'll never show
your handle again.

Talking to a mechanic (one not wanting to get paddled) and trying to make sense of what is being said.

Cottonpicken - are saying Hopperbin shouldn't sell their SWS for $5.10/bu? Markets are still trending higher but I suspect are about to stall short term. Longer term, the trend higher may continue but my experience in life is you have to survive the short term to make the long term (at least for mere mortals with some financial realities). Strangely as well, things that are obvious never happen - people/markets change behavior to bugger the best laid plans. There were lots of others issues related to a market decision versus just price. A managers ability to take this information and make good is what makes them successful. No simple answers.

As a mechanic, I note that I am as concerned with the physical transfer of grain/conversion into other things as I am price. If price were the only factor, everyone here could sit in front of a screen and trade futures. For example, cattle need to be fed everyday. A process that provides a price signal and results in a sale/physical transfer of product has to to happen everyday or at least often enough to have grain arrive when needed.

An interesting quote for this Week's Left Field Special Crops Update/Chuck Penner.

The greatest discovery of all time is that a person can change his future by merely changing his attitude.
Oprah Winfrey

[charliep]

Reality check time. Early harvest/likely normal cash flow sales off the combine. 13 million tonne crop. Close to $13/bu canola if you push pricing into 2012. Best price. Don't know. Good opportunity/reason to look forward to harvest? You answer that question.

[cottonpicken]

They should not sell for 5 or 13.

Cash flows should be met but prices are depressed
not inflated.

Now we are on an even playing field eh Charlie?

And I'll flush oprah and chuck like the rest of the
waste that comes into my life.

The same bnn and cnbc crowd talking hard working
average people out of gold and tangibles and into
the the riskiest sickest assets labeled as safe?-im
sick of it it,seeing the lies,hearing the lies,day after
day after day after day.....

Tell us now captain Charlie Where do your
investments lie?

Are you beyond advice?,in day to day.
