Bagging Some Ags

"The Almanac says it's time to start plantin.'"
--Myra Fleener (Hoosiers)

Have been adding to my agricultural commodity position (RJA) over the past few days. From a technical standpoint, looks like a multi-month reverse head-and-shoulders to me w/ a gap directly above (gaps tend to be magnets for price).


From a fundamental/macro standpoint, we've waxed about the bullish set-up in commodities before (dollar heading to dust, capacity not keeping up w/ demand, gov't policies that favor famine).

As such, I'm digging this for the long side of my hedge book.

The boon of these privileged farmers is paid for by the taxpayers who must provide the funds required to defray the deficit. It affects neither the market price nor the total available supply of agricultural products. It merely makes profitable the operation of farms which hitherto were submarginal.
