Has anyone here ever traded porkbellies, OJ, corn or crude?
I was approached yesterday to "invest" in someone's day trading method. He didn't have a great explanation why needed outside investment if his method was SO successful.
I have hedged positions when I was actively involved in farming, but I've never straight out speculated on the market. With all that you guys are involved in, I'd be surprised if I didn't find SOMEONE here who's got market positions somewhere in the exchanges. It does interest me as a long term investment, with both (significantly) higher risks and rewards associated with it as opposed to other investments like RE.
Factoid- If you'd have bought one RBOB (Gas) contract (42,000 gallons) this time last January and sold it on June 1, you'd have profited around $50,000.
