They are lurking without a doubt for entertainment purposes.

Zero basis and arbritrage are interesting terms.

Foreign exchange is an interesting term with a 88 cent cdn dollar.

Same problems as when the cwb was in place.

Coast prices double that of the prairie price.

I am very niave to think they care about us or that there is any morality in unfettered capitalist businesseses dealing with us.

Silence is deafening....

I was going to comment how the thread went dead.

What do think farmaholic.

Are we better off today than 3 years ago?

[farmaholic]

Depends who you talk to. I've said the only thing that's changed is who we call Master.

X2, but CWB masters had no skin in the game and didn't give a dam what grain was sold for, #1 priority was get rid of it, some to lowest bidder.

Today all grain co's price/sell with profit to Co's as # 1 business priority. Either way the producer is not going to be in a good position.
We are many and divided, they are few and on same page/same bed?

And don't forget the new cwb is going to join them.

As the bucket has highlighted several times, the thread is about basis. You can read what I said. Nothing more to add.

Strange in that I really like old expressions/adages. I really liked the recent one here that defined being a pessimist, an optimist and realist.

I'll add another from a presentation I heard.

Never piss in a well. You never know when you will have to drink the water.
