Markets Closed President’s Day Holiday 18 FEB 2019 Monday
Comments in today’s video on short Gold Strangles, holding. Shopping for Corn 370 PUTs, and corn fundamentals. Why it’s not a good time to sell more Soybean CALLs yet. A Film on Crude Oil Price Wars and I’ll be shopping JUN19 75-strike CALLS in crude.
Many of the charts used in today’s commentary are from Dr. Dan O’Brien at Kansas State University. They do a great job of market up and interpreting the USDA data and other information. The link to all these charts is here: https://www.agmanager.info/grain-marketing/grain-supply-and-demand-wasde
More links of this kind are at the tab Resource: Links Library here on this web site.

Short the JUL19 Corn 360-strike PUT at 3.125 ($156.25)
Note: I always use examples with a quantity of 1 (one) option per trade. This is not because I only trade one of each option, it is to keep the illustrations simple and easy to understand in the newsletter. Please remember the strategies of the trades I post here are risky, and not suitable for all traders. Posts here are for educational purposes only.
The commentary and examples are for teaching purposes only and are not intended as trading advice and are for educational purposes.

Here is the film I mentioned on Amazon Video Prime:
I do not sell software, trading systems, manage money, nor am I a broker. I am a writer/educator who worked more than 25 years as a private commodity hedge fund consultant in risk management for large corporations in production and procurement of various commodities.
Have a great week. – Don
