corn, wheat & soybeans are up due to weather & emerging market deamnd.

when rice was way up a few years ago it was due toweather.

sheesh, QE2 has no effect on weather.

lol, Bunk is obeying the machine.

for a drop of a bit more, a more global buy signal might be given even though no specific equity aset class has a buy signal.

That happened on the up side a while ago - was a good sell then.

until then, I obey the machine.

no emotions ...
