DEC MINI WHEAT: I tried to short it today. My price was not reached. It formed an inside day. I'll try again tomorrow. See Trade Alert for details. Closed 594, up 2 1/2.
JAN MINI BEANS: They formed a small key reversal bottom today. This could produce an interim rally. Keep stops at 1175. Closed 1153, up 5.0.
Position: Short 1181 1/2 (11.17).
Projection: 1100.
DEC MEAL: I covered this am at 291.00. It has persisted in holding 290.00 for several days and today was no exception. That concerned me. Just watching for now but waiting to short again. Closed 292.00, up 2.40.
Position: Short 295.40 (11.17). Exit 291.00 (11.22). Profit $385 (-comm/fees).
Projection: 280.00.
DEC BEAN OIL: It was strong today and rallied to 50.78. My attempt to short did not follow through since it never reached my price. It also formed an inside day today. I'll try again tomorrow to short. See Trade Alert for details. Closed 50.78, up .89.
MAR COCOA: Another new low today at 23.95. It then formed a huge outside day. Long term there isn't anything that is very positive. On the monthly chart the sell-off held at the 100 day ma - that is about it. On the weekly chart cocoa is attempting to hold in support going back to early 2009. It still has a sell signal though. Neither long term chart is giving any bottom indications yet. Is cocoa over sold? Definitely. Just watching. Closed 24.21, up 7.
MAR SUGAR: Another low today at 23.33. The long term negatives mount. The monthly chart is triggering another sell this month - as if it needs it! Sugar also has now violated the 20 day ma on the monthly. The weekly, besides having sell signals all over the place, failed the 100 day ma last week with follow through this week. Considering the pattern on the weeklys with the moving averages, this further suggests it will at least reach the 150 day ma and the 22.00 area. Keep stops at 24.35. Closed 23.44, down .65.
Position: Short 25.10 (11.10).
Projection: 23.00.

DEC E-MINI S&P: I normally do not follow the emini but both the daily and the long term charts suggest the possibility of a strong sell-off that is worth attempting. It triggered a sell yesterday and sold off to 1180.50. Today's low 1179.25. Keep stops at 1230.00. Closed 1182.75, down 8.00.
