Michael Nesmith was the real musician in the 60’s band, the Monkees. Since their demise, he keeps performing every year and is quite talented. Nesmith didn’t need to work as he was rich……his mother invented White-out. For your viewing pleasure, here’s a good song of his post Monkees.

This wheat spread I’ve got on is literally driving me nuts. I’m right, but the damn thing is just not moving very much. I had to sell a lot of stock today to pay for a bunch of things I made sure that I sold my losers. Sometimes, I feel like a professional juggler, who’s juggling chainsaws. Today was one of those days. Oh well, tonight I’m having dinner with a good friend and all will be well.

I’ve got on that kCBOT/CBOT spread, and it’s going in my favor I also managed to scalp a nickel out of the soybeans in 5 minutes Although I don’t believe in luck, this was pure dumb luck. I’ve been very busy since I got back, and think that I found the perfect pied a terre, a 2 bedroom over at the Carlyle. I plan on making an offer on Wednesday…can’t be too enthused or show enthusiasm. Since I’m back, I’ve had such fun, and my life has been a whirlwind. Now, I’m pretty tired, yet very content.

I’m back in Manhattan having a lot of fun. Not much to post, except that I had a great dinner with an excellent companion. Today, I’m meeting up with a good buddy of mine for coffee, then I have dinner plans later on. All in all, it should be an excellent time. I will return to my usual posting tomorrow.

There’s some very interesting action in the march/may soybean spread. Pay close attention.

I’m sitting at the airport, waiting for a plane to go to NYC. I miss NY and can’t wait to see my friends there. I will be going to the Junto tonight, and all will be well I expect to have quite a social calendar while I’m there, as I am overdue for a fun time. I had to go through all my winter clothes, as I’m going from 85 degrees to 50 degrees. The change of seasons should do me good. I’m curious on how my wheat spread is going to act, as I have a lot riding on it Each penny it moves is $30,000 and that’s a lot of coin in anyone’s book. I live for these spreads, and I just came to the realization that I haven’t spread grains all year which is a first for me.

Although I stand to make pretty good money from this spread, unfortunately, the iRS will probably get the lion’s share. Between all of the checks I write every month to various relatives, I’m pretty well tapped out. Oh well, I just need to make more, as I’m just like a hamster on a wheel..

This CBOT/KCBOT March Wheat spread is all over the board. I can’t make rhyme or reason out of the action and suspect that one of the larger grain companies wants to support the spread. Ultimately, they will lose, but might cause me a bit of pain in the process.

I’m going to NY tomorrow for an extended visit. It should be a great time and I will be in time to make the Junto which is always very educational. Plus it will be a good chance to reconnect with old friends.

I’ll post more from New York.

I’m fully maxed out on the Chicago/Kansas City March Wheat spread. Now, I need to hang on.

A fellow member of the Spec-List, Riz Din found a link to the movie that Paul Tudor Jones made way back when. You can see it in full, here. This movie is 55 minutes long and is mildly interesting for one involved in speculation. It won’t be around very long, as they tend to remove from the web, so see it while you can. I must give a shout out to Riz Din, as he is willing to do the work to find these nuggets.
