CV,

got a little busy this afternoon, not sure if you saw but wanted to give you a shout out on the football calls, thats impressive. hope you laid those out for yourself, maybe some new equipment for the farm is on the way....sweeet.

@ben

Not ALL...

I just do a 'pick' on every game (because you never know which individual games the blog readers are interested in, so I'll try to at least lay out a few thoughts on each game)...

Usually I have action on anything that ends up being a 3 unit pick or above...

I'm OFF tonight (Minnesota - Green Bay)...

Gun to my head, I'd lay the points with Green Bay... I don't think 'Vegas' cares one way or another... The lean is on the Packers (but it's 64-36, so it's not 'heinous')...

EXOTICS are about square, so that is a bit curious... Mostly - 'exotics' mean teasers, so if you're trying to take Minnesota +19, you could get screwed... I think they're SQUARE because that's just about how they like it...

13 points means either 19 or 7 (but a 'push' is a loss, so you'd have to win by MORE than a TD if you were siding with Green Bay)... Hardly anyone ever does that... They usually, 'psychologically' do that if they can move a 6.5 line to a JUST WIN BABY (like a lot of Ravens bettors did yesterday - even though I tried to say to AVOID it)...

---

Probably more compelling tonight is the (o/U)...

It's "50"... Of course, I can see why a lot of OVERS are being played (76% - 24%) because of all the offensive talent on the field...

But an "O/U" that moved down from 51.5???

I'm not big on playing "O/U"'s, but I'd be on the UNDER tonight...

Global Wheat Glut; Prices Drop, French Exports Plunge; Reflections on Agricultural Commodities; "No Food at Any Price" Revisited


Wheat prices are down over 50% from 2008 high and 37% since early this year in a global glut of wheat.

Please consider Wheat Shippers Battle for Sales as Global Grain Glut Expands.
France may lose its place as the second-biggest wheat exporter after failing to win more than a dozen tenders in Egypt, the world’s biggest buyer, as shipments from Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan overwhelm markets.

Egypt favored cheaper supply from the Black Sea region in the past 17 tenders and cargoes to northern Africa from France’s Rouen, Europe’s biggest grain-export hub, fell to a four-month low in the week ended Nov. 2, port data show. France’s crop office expects a 23 percent drop in shipments in the 12 months ending in June, the most in at least a decade.

That’s reversing last season’s trend, when French cargoes jumped 16 percent to a record as Russia and Ukraine cut sales to ensure domestic supply. Prices that reached a three-year high in February are plunging after both countries eased restrictions. Output is also expanding elsewhere and the United Nations expects the biggest-ever global harvest. Wheat may drop another 20 percent in Paris by May, said Greg Grow, director of agribusiness at Archer Financial Services Inc. in Chicago.

“The world is awash with wheat and unless you can compete with the Black Sea you’re stuck,” said Tom Fritz, the Chicago- based co-founder of EFG Group LLC, a researcher and adviser to commodity traders. “The bias is for lower prices in an effort to clean up the glut.”

the Wheat 'oversupply'-Thesis is holding up..

Probably worth noting that wheat high from 2008 was due to a rogue MFGlobal trader stopping out of a massive short into the highs....

Nice harbinger of things to come.

Andy T said...

Schaub prolly out for the season.

Buy the dip.

Schaub was probably the 17th most important starter on that team....not even kidding.

Texan fans are freaking out....but the dude LOST two games this year. He's simply NOT clutch at all.

Swapping Leinart for schaub is not much of a downgrade IMHO.

I guess we'll see.

Anonymous said...

Holy Cow! I was, just, asking....whatever happened to Leinart?

Hopefully, dude bought some Ag with his 'Signing Bonus'..

and, seriously, wish dude the Best~
