Market Volatilty

I wasn't talking about Board choice either,if you had read more carefully.

I was talking about choice in a system.

In our system....banking, investing, marketing,etc. all of them are the fence posts of the capitalist system we live in, and the only relief valve is choice.

Choice to move money. Out of the country. To the tin can. To gold. Out of gold.

Choice to replace stocks with cash.
Or vice versa.

And so on.

Markets inevitably govern everything.

Everything.

imho, of course.

Charlie,i ment no disrespect to you or anyone else,it was another over blowen frusterated response with effenince on over blowen(something i'm good at,right or wrong).

And in my own defence and many others here,emotion and tone are hard to convey in written form compared to face to face.Hence the popularity of internet dating.

I'll pull up some charts and tell you the dates of some horrible sales periods for board grains.

Apology goes both ways. I over reacted as well.

I couldn't say when the CWB has made sales. Their arguement would be around their ability to achieve premiums in world markets based on single desk power versus ability to time sales. To be fair to the CWB, I don't think the CWB can 100 % time sales given they have to work around customer needs and logistics.

Perhaps the arguement in this thread (and in the farm community) is about the price pooling/contracting under CWB versus an open market where grain companies/others would have to compete for business to achieve a steady flow of product. You will have your own opinion as to whether canola marketing or wheat marketing fills your business and personal needs better.
