Very Bullish Cotton & Wheat

 

 

I CONTINUE TO VIEW ALL FOUR ROW CROPS AS A COLLECTIVE BUY, USING “UNITS” COMPOSED OF 1 JULY CALL IN CORN, COTTON, SOYBEANS & WHEAT.

 

MY RECENT EMPHASIS HAS BEEN, AND STILL IS, ON COTTON & WHEAT…WITH MY EXPECTATION BEING THAT THEY MIGHT BE “FIRST OUT OF THE GATE”…WHICH HAS BEEN THE OBVIOUS CASE IN COTTON…AND I STRONGLY BELIEVE IS ABOUT TO BE THE SAME IN WHEAT.

 

Cotton has been flying, putting in a roughly 16 cent (24%) move since early March. On Tuesday (2 days ago) I exited into strength with the idea that some sort of 2-3 week consolidation should be coming, but after watching July swing down a HARD 4 cents in less than 36 hours, I began reinstating long positions this morning…and NOW RECOMMEND BUYING CALLS AGAIN IN THE JULY CONTRACT.

 

As I have noted throughout the move up, my perception has been that NOBODY in the Cotton world was the slightest bit bullish…that the entire industry was absolutely convinced that the “fundamentals” were bearish and that even rallying 2-3 cents was almost an impossibility…which is, in this mob psychology GAME…exactly when bull moves frequently get going…And remarkably, even with he strength the market has shown,. I STILL see nothing but bearish attitudes everywhere, which I continue to regard as unquestionably bullish. Maybe I’m dead wrong, but I CONTINUE TO THINK JULY IS HEADED STRAIGHT UP FROM HERE WITH A TARGET, MINIMALLY, OF THE MID-90’S

 

 

This option looks dirt cheap to me…

 

 

Wheat looking VERY bullish to me…


I think Wheat is looking VERY much like Cotton 6 weeks ago…And compared to Corn and Soybeans, I think it has an IMMEDIATLEY MORE EXPLOSIVE LOOK than them…leading me to a hold a perspective of, “DON’T BE OUT,” and understand that any given day can suddenly see it leaping out of here in 20-25 cent daily increments. Aside from the fact that the War has become a major problem for crop fertilizer production and availability, the big thing may be that dry weather is trending towards the crisis stage in the Great Plains…with statistical comparisons now being made to the miniscule rainfall levels that preceded the 1934 Dust Bowl…which, in an understatement, would be catastrophic for the Wheat crop…and wildly bullish for prices.

 

I CONTINUE TO RECOMMEND BUYING JULY 2026 WHEAT CALLS…

 

 I am buying this option as well as further “out of the money’s.”

 

Contact me if anything here interest you…or if you just want to talk.

 

Thanks,

Bill
