Black Coffee

 

Could the coffee futures be the best swing-trading product ever?

 

The Perks of Perking.


"If you've heard this story before, don't stop me because I'd like to hear it again," Groucho Marx (on market history?).

“I've learned in options trading simple is best and the obvious is often the most elusive to recognize.”

 

"The god of trading rewards persistence, experience and discipline, and absolutely nothing else."

Bought 2K shares of JO today at 20.85.

Some light reading to occupy a few hours of the remaining winter nights.  Mostly fiction, but appropriately set in the seventeenth century.

The book is by David Liss (2004) and is available.

 

Now from a more recent century...

"Coffee... keeps on perkin'
Market... keeps on  trendin'
Till it... turn to churnin;
 'Cause it won't be too long.
Oh no"

to me it looks like CORN has made its low . i put the odds at 75%  TWT.   3 other observations: Nat gas is finishing a falling wedge [BULLISH ] at 2.85-2.90....   IBKR is coiling in a triangle,signaling a 10 point move following a breakout . then there is BRAZIL,I have not heard anything in the news yet , but things seem to be turning UP.   EWZ reverse H+S

                                                                        LFL  reverse  H+S

                                                                         PBR small tri pointing to 15.00

 

  but then of course, some of this stuff has failed in the past TWT zorro.gif

 on the other hand , in this business you get paid for taking a risk.

Sold out at 20.51 on Fri.  I think coffee needs one more leg down before the next big rally.
