I’m not one of the big talkers but I have several thousand dollars in the futures markets.
Mines a different animal, but i still have quite a bit in. [Reply]

Then you know that trading stocks and trading futures are a completely different game. It's like minor league and major league. Save maybe the FOREX markets which every Tom, Dick and Harry has a youtube video on how to get rich trading FOREX except none of them are rich.
The most successful Traders I have read about are one of three types:
Bank rolled out the ass to trade stocks
Trade Options
Trade Futures
Since most people don't have the bank to trade stocks the savy individual traders seem to trend towards options an futures. [Reply]

I don't know a thing about Deere but the answer is a complete and utter "**** NO!"
WTF would you put 20% of your IRA into one ****ing stock? That's just plain ****ing idiotic no matter which stock it is! [Reply]
I wouldn't put more than 2% of your portfolio into any single stock. Not with your IRA. If you are talking about speculation $'s then that's different but your retirement $'s no. Absolutely not. Nothing more than 2%. [Reply]

Alright. Just asking for a friend. I’m personally planning on dying before retirement so i just speculate entirely with my IRA. I call it tax free gambling. [Reply]

When doing retirement planning, people often don't consider the huge advantages of dying young. [Reply]
I own 180 put options at $33.50 strike on TWTR that expire Friday. I paid $9 a contract plus commissions. If today turns out to be as bad as the futures look right now, I may have hit a nice score. [Reply]

You’re younger than me so there is no way to tell in that timeframe. Too much shit can change.
In the short/intermediate term probably not. Ag-everything right now is ass. I can’t imagine forestry is better. Commercial/Home turf doesn’t move enough dollars to move the needle.
I’d pick them over Agco or CNH, but expecting them to outperform the market is a big ask in their environment. [Reply]
Hog Farmer got out of pigs and pork too soon. The Chinese are buying every piece of swine they can find at ridiculous prices. Profits at all time high for hog farmers.

I see you have a positive outlook on life. [Reply]
