Fuck Corn

Finally, corn is breaking lower. Do not misconstrue this post as some sort of endorsement for technical analysis– oh no. It’s just the easiest way to show you the pending doom and destruction those fucking farmers face.

Let corn come down and fertilizer costs gap higher, I always say.

Adequate ways to play the fall of corn is to short [[GRU]], [[JJG]] or [[DBA]].

However, the best ways to profit from a weak grain market is to buy the 200% inverse agriculture ETN: [[AGA]], which consists of corn, soybeans, sugar and wheat.

If you are a straight gangster, wanting to profit from the demise of all commodities, [[DEE]] is your play. DEE shorts crude oil, heating oil, aluminum, gold, corn and wheat, at a 200% clip. In other words, “fuck the farmer” and the oil guy.

The 200% upside ETN’s are [[DAG]] and [[DYY]].

NOTE: As you know, my favorite stock ideas, for a fucked corn tape, are [[VSE]] and [[AVR]].

NOTE II: If you’re interested, the prospectuses can be found here.

    Fly,
    Why are you trying to short the strongest sectors ? Why not just lean against the weakest ones like Financials and real estate related stuff. Were you one of those kids in school that tried to show how tough they were by picking a fight with the strongest kid ( and ultimately getting an ass kicking) ?

    MasterCard says more people are turning to plastic. No shit. Mortgage companies are allowing customers to make their mortgage payments using credit cards. Can you fucking believe that ? This country is a fucking ponzi scheme. Sooner or later this shit going to blow the fuck up and things are going to get ugly.

    The first “market bubble” and first “options market” in the wolrd that was recorded in history was in the 16th century for tulip bulbs, which were treated value wise like Lamborghinis are now, and were traded like cash. It got so bad, peole would sell there house to own contracts for these bulbs. When it crashed, several people tried to “buy the dip” and continued to get slaughtered and ultimately people lost their homes.
    Market mania and hysteria will seemingly always occur, as long as there are fools, and that means there will always be HUGE declines.
    Millionaire farmers is not something to bet on long term, imo, nor are millionaire turnip gardners.
    If somethings going on and you bet on a top and are right, your reward is endless. But if it doesn’t do what you expect and it reverses and shoots up, you only are going to be in the wrong part of a very small portion of the move. Plus, there’s nothing more fun then being on the right side of a “dot bomb” type market. All the stories of “overnight riches” are gone before most of them can sell, and you truely do end up with “overnight riches” almost literally overnight.
    Plus it’s fun to pick on “Billy-Bob Cornfield”

    Charlie G. just told you that you position on LEH is wrong. So, you should move to Romanian mountains.

    SRS is a shit bag today. DUG is busting out and FXP appears to be headed back to zero. I like SMN and DUG here. I added TWM as well.

    Good post. However, you neglected to add the phrase, “…and cans of corn”, at the end of the title.

    you twisted fucks can go INVERSE-commodities all you want.

    Why don’t you just take your money, dip it in ethanol, shove it up your ass and light a match?

    Same effect.

    I bet you all think solar is just a “fad” too — like Pokemon.

    Hmmm…I don’t know; I am abit skeptical into jumping on shorting oil…I feel like there’s a fucking trap waiting out there.

    Regardless I took the liberty to purchase some steel stocks AKS, RIO, on this pullback with a VERY tight stop…Keep in mind, steel stocks move up in tandem with oil. Why? Who the fuck knows…

    I hedged myself via buying Solar Burriots put contracts…

    gap-

    SRS is my hail mary play – these REITS are gonna burn.

    on a different note…

    read your analysis about solar from last night. you are correct, but ya gotta realize, we are in the pentium 90 stage in this game.

    google CIGS. granted, its a ways off, but there are actually companies with CIGS in production right now. the whole game will change when any building material surface (cement, shingles etc) can be a solar panel.

    interesting to note that Shell sold their “traditional” solar fab, and dumped all the $$ into CIGS.

    …and Honda is into CIGS H-U-G-E.

    null: If commercials don’t die then someone rigged the game, basically like they did with LEH and the other fucks like fucking Wells Fargo.

    In my opinion if it takes you 40+ years to pay for an investment then the shit ain’t fucking worth it. In 40 years we may not even be using wired electricity so anyone buying solar right now should be punched in their fucking ballsack, but ofcourse you probably don’t have a ballsack any longer if your buying solar panels for your house.

    Nothing has changed. This was the most ill directed bounce in years. It even sent the city boy FLY to the corn patch. All we need is a major power outage to get the ball rolling.
