I have taken profits in Cotton…

Temporarily Standing Aside

 

 

Gold down $100 today…

My opinion:

Starting another MAJOR leg down.

Silver as well…

 

Maybe I am mistaken, but if the great myth about Gold being a “safe haven for geopolitical turmoil and a hedge against inflation” was true, between the ongoing WAR and the concurrent surge in INFLATION, Gold should have gone up…and NOT have gone down since Trump’s Feb 28th Iranian Invasion…nor do I think it should it have just been laying here for the past few months.

 

I CONTINUE TO VIEW GOLD AND SILVER AS BEING JAM PACKED WITH SPECULATIVE BUYERS, WHO, BACK IN JANUARY,  AT THE ALL TIME HIGHS, WERE JUMPING ALL OVER THEMSELVES TO LOAD UP ON THEM DURING WHAT I WOULD DESCRIBE AS “A PRICE AND MEDIA GENERATED BULLISH FRENZY.” AND WITH THIS IN MIND, MY GUESS IS EVERYBODY WHO COULD POSSIBLY WANT TO “INVEST” IN PRECIOUS METALS HAS DONE SO…UP TO THEIR EYEBALLS…AND THAT BOTH OF THESE MARKETS ARE NOW UNDERGOING A “DISAPPOINTED” (LOSING MONEY) PHASE THAT WILL TAKE THEM SUBSTANTIALLY LOWER.

 

 

 

Next to get hit BIG:

Live Cattle & Feeder Cattle

 

Again, going back to the Feb 28th invasion, if you’d told anyone then that Gold was about to drop from $5500 to $4150 in the space of the next 3 weeks, they would have thought you were nuts…but it DID…And in the same vein, I think we are now on the cusp of something quite similar in the Cattle markets, where the entire industry KNOWS Cattle are “high,” but nevertheless, everyone is THINKING, “The numbers just ain’t there. There’s no way they can go down much from here.” But in my opinion, same as it was with Tech stocks (and yes, I know they have recovered, maybe), and Bitcoin at $125,000, and the Precious Metals a few months ago, I THINK BOTH FEEDER CATTLE AND LIVE CATTLE ARE ABOUT TO SUFFER THE SAME SORT OF BEYOND BELIEF CRAP OUTS. Maybe I am dead wrong, but I see each down day this week, following last Friday’s supposedly “bullish” Cattle on Feed Report, as another notch towards an outright FUTURES MARKET COLLAPSE.

 

I CONTINUE TO RECOMMEND BEING SHORT BOTH CATTLE CONTRACTS.

 

And yes, those are some big numbers…but they are NOT farfetched…20-25% MOVES ARE QUITE COMMON IN THE FUTURES MARKETS…

 

 

Contact me if anything here interests you…whether you want to trade or not…

 

Thanks,

Bill

FUTURES TRADING IS NOT FOR EVERYONE. THE RISK OF LOSS IN TRADING CAN BE SUBSTANTIAL. THEREFORE, CAREFULLY CONSIDER WHETHER SUCH TRADING IS SUITABLE FOR YOU IN LIGHT OF YOUR FINANCIAL CONDITION. PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS. THERE IS NO GUARANTEE YOUR TRADING EXPERIENCE WILL BE SIMILAR TO PAST PERFORMANCE.
