I hope I'm wrong but with the protests in Hong Kong and the bullshit going on in the Gulf with Iran, I feel that if one of these goes south then the market's gonna take a quick 1500-2000 point haircut.
Anyone else feeling a little extra cautious? [Reply]

I’d guess it is a prudent position to take. I know the corn and soy markets have been held down fairly significantly despite real production problems on the corn belt. [Reply]
People here discuss Tesla? Thinking of buying it long term. Seems all competitors are really behind in technology and the world (China/Europe) are mandating EV vehicles [Reply]

At least your out of hogs so you don’t have to try to be long corn. :-)
You got that right. My brother tried to get me to buy some corn contracts two weeks ago. I politely told him to go fuck himself. Agriculture is just HARD. [Reply]

I wouldn’t. They don’t make money. There is a lot to like there but they don’t make money and never meet their projections. Not good things for stock owners.

Did he do it? He’s probably made some money.
I had hedged pretty aggressively because planting scares virtually never amount to much. So I put a few contracts to physical contracts and spread the whole thing. I was still hedging but I was speculating with cash. Thinking it was a fairly safe bet to try to get some of my margin money back. Because the margin calls made me cranky. And they couldn’t roll a wheel in the cornbelt. Has to work, right? NOPE. more margin calls. It’s turned back around and is going the right way now, but I was sure for awhile I was going to eat shit on both ends. [Reply]
KERN, anyone? A software company that tracks marijuana sales etc. It's up 224% in a handful of days since it did a reverse merger to essentially go public.

Amazon had impressive revenue but didn't turn a profit with focus on money going into development and expansion. Tesla sales are impressive and they don't spend money on advertisements. [Reply]
