Help Me, Bucky, Help Me!!!
You were so sure of your prognostication on Sunday:
Beans look like the titanic here. Overrun off the combine.....sold, excess money in hedge account.........by puts. 8 dollar futurs isn't that far away and if the gap failure is a measuring gap, 6.30 beans is at hand by January report time. First week october seasonal low is a puppy dog compaired to what is looking at us in our face.
that I sold 10 contract of JAN Beans at the open Sunday night. I got filled at $9.24 right after the open. I had enough to margin the initial purchase ($2750 per contract = $27,500.) but now the contract is against me, and I got a margin call today for the $27,500 along with the $15,000 that I was out on Monday, and now expecting another $10,000 margin call tomorrow morning. I wasn't planning for the the addtional $25,000 I am already out. You were so sure. I had already planned to use the money to buy a new planter that I was looking at for next spring. I called my banker, and he said because the price of corn and beans had dropped so much, he couldn't raise my operating loan, and actually was going to be recalling $100,000 of that for next spring because of the low prices. I don't think I can raise the money already to hold onto the contracts. Bucky, you promised that beans were going to $6.30!!! Now what do I do?
The above scenerio was completely false - or was it? When ever anyone on here, even if they come on here saying that they are the brain that they think they are - don't listen to them. If Bucky really had farmers trying to knock down his door like he said, the above scenerio could be very, very true for someone out there. I know. I fell for Wrestler's ploy last year while I was in the hospital, and it cost me. Don't fall victim to these guys, like I did. I may come across as the Type A personality that I am, but I'm not a liar. And I'm not here in a self serving capacity.
As I see it, Bucky is 0 - 2 on his weekend projections. His last one, about the BIG Limit Down move didn't materialize either.
Be Afraid....be very, very afraid of this market right now. Standing aside is probably a wise move. If you're hedged from a good level above the market, I would still hold it. But your going to have to weather a mental challenge for the next few weeks. And, if you're hedged out far enough, you always have the Hugh, Never Ever Before Seen (but yet to be determined) Bin Buster Crop Report of 2015 is just around the corner...I can't wait...

I would love to help Jenny. Lithium works wonders on people with special needs. BTW I never said any limit downs, keep hoping.

Re: Help Me, Bucky, Help Me!!!
No he shouldn't have. But he's not the only one that I know of. I know of at least 4 more. One other one got himself in worse than the one I mentioned above. He called me one day and told me what he was planning to do, because it looked good at the time. It was just before a report - he was sure he had the report figured out. Wrong. I told him not to do it - he did it anyway. A limit move day - and he was on the wrong side and couldn't get out. The damage was done. I'm sure he wrote it off as a hedging loss on top of it - it was all speculative. It's not pretty to this day, though he has managed to continue operating. It's just a matter of time...
No one in the futures market ever gets fingered for telling a client how to trade. Instead, farmers are bombarded with slick ways to make big bucks on the futures and options market, with schemes that may work sometimes, and other times be costly. I'm ridiculed when I say sell only what you have, and what you have in the bin. Because for a lot of farmers, it's simple, it works, it's not the mental game that's played when your money out in the futures, and it affords you the opportunity to sell to who you want to. And, after watching the Wolf of Wallstreet last week, if I give the traders another penny of my money, it'll be too much and it'll be too soon.

When I lose trading I never blame the farmers or for that fact anyone else. I blame myself. I lick my wounds and move to my next market opportunity.

You can do a lot more safer risk management decisions than go long or short. Day trading is just another way for people to lose a lot of money, no point to it for most people.
Trading isn't someone out to get everyone. It's just business. I doubt they are out to get other people
Nor do I think people would take bucks comments as the absolute truth. People are going to be charitable and make some assumptions. Most messages aren't as heavily vetted as publicated works. Of course you know he can't guarantee any of his conclusions when it comes to trading: no one can guarantee their conclusions . Nobody was born yesterday here. It's all probability : chance. What's the best chance?
As soon as you get emotional about your business your judgement is going to get cloudy.

Re: Help Me, Bucky, Help Me!!!
Buck - you also need some help with spelling.
Here you go - if you want to prescribe this drug - lithiam, it is spelled lithium. Thank you Dr. Buck. I would've thought that knowing how to spell would've come along with that BIG BRAIN GENIUS that you are.
As you know, Dr. Buck, lithium is not recommended for patients with heart disease, like myself. I already have problems with irregular heartbeats, I don't need more - but thank you so much for your concern.
Please be aware that I am able to take very few medications with the cocktail of medications I am currently on. I can have Tylenol for pain. That's about it. And even that is limited. So the next time you are prescribing something, please keep that in mind.
