TenaciousG Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 The Dr. Dan commercial reminds me of one of my favorite childhood movies.

Thanks in advance. Bad weather has hurt harvests in Brazil and India, two of the world’s biggest sugar producers. Also, Brazil has been increasingly devoting sugar resources to ethanol production, putting upward pressure on sugar prices. Here in the U.S., sugar production has been declining in recent years. The U.S. sugar stock relative to demand is less than half of what it was a year ago. I guess you could say that many of the reasons are mostly fundamental. Recently, I have heard alot of talk about funds buying sugar futures and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TenaciousG Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Funny you would inquire. I was just looking at some sugar charts scratching my head. Who are the major sugar producers and their production %? India, Brazil, U.S. ???? I know India has experienced severe drought but don't know what % of the total their production equates to. Is there a big push coming from the energy bill for higher yielding bio-fuels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

summoner Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 FOX the EURO broke major support at 1.4260 and moved hard and fast. I caught about 60pips. Will look to reshort any retest from below or the short tick(50) frame rollover which is winding now. Trade Safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why I attempt to rationalize these markets as they have simply devolved into a liquidity driven crack house of traders buying support and selling resistance.

The important 27.30-50 area held, again, last Friday. That's where I dumped the shorts and just left it alone. Should of went long from that area, but oh well.
