I need these questions answered.

[TOM4CWB]

Frisie...

I enjoy cottons extra insight... the added perspective of WHY things are the way they work...

The CWB is not the only 'marketer'/service provider with problems... the issue is the exchanges and fed reserve central banks are single desks as well.

I don't think the 'PIG' should die... it should have restricted food intake... and also limit activity to focused marketing of our produce... that actually gains us a premium!

Repeat after me...

We have a 'single desk';

The 'single desk' means a premium;

Therefore any thing we do... equals a premium.

NOTHING could be further from the truth!

PREMIUMS are 'EARNED'; for a specific reason... in a competitive market where the CWB is a very small player... making claims that are often false leads to abuse of those who must deal with the CWB... simply because the multis will do it to rub the CWB and extract as much as possible... just to make them (CWB sales) squirm!

If you had the CWB... over a barrel... squealing like a porker... wouldn't you?

[TOM4CWB]

Bucket;

Don't you see what the CWB are doing to us?

Do you get it now?

The more we squeal... the more they zap us!

THESE ARE THUGS... PLAYING A GAME... THEY HAVE NO INTENTION OF 'PLAYING 'FAIR''!

[bucket]

But isn't that sort of odd because the cwb is controlled by farmers? I don't think I have any neighbors that would like to see me fail or see me squeal. They can hardly stand the bitching I do now about the way things are.

[Fransisco]

Tom, there is a time and a place for everything. This ain't the time or the place(thread).

[Fransisco]

The cwb is not "controlled by farmers" it <b>controls farmers.</b>

Ohhh so sohhy.mes thought wees were talking grain pwice.

[Kodiak]

Grow up. Most 6 year olds show more maturity.

[Fransisco]

The question is why are the CWB PRO's and fixed price contracts so low in comparison to grain prices, cry baby.

If you think its because of inflation, go ahead and impress us, make the argument.

[boarderbloke]

i will go out on a limb here and suggest that the Pool Return Outlook is a forecast(the reason they call it an Outlook) for prices from Aug08 to july09, 2009 is a long way off. i think that the current cash price probably plays a roll in the composition of the PRO, but other long term factors would also be in the mix. does anyone one know how recent the information gathered to project the PRO is? are the latest rains in the Midwest part of the PRO, or is the info being used old and out dated, much like Statscan??

[cottonpicken]

O.k no more chinese impressions.

My theories and line of thinking havent changed in four years and i'm to drunk and happy to go dumpster diving to prove it.

The cwb is playing it safe.
Wouldnt you if you were them?
They dont really know any more than kudlow and kramer.
Or bottineau,which is also playing it safe with their new crop prices.

And all that being said.......

THE BROAD MARKET HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH PRICES FRAN!

Are you from Mars?
Can you not wrap your head around the fact that money seeks a home to sit?
It wants a return?

Please tell me
relastate?
bonds?
stocks?
commodities?

Where does one go?

Ding,ding,ding

If you choose commodities you win!

Why are commodities flying for the past four years?

Ding,ding,ding

If you choose inflation hedge,you win!

Proof me wrong Fran.

You're going to be googling for hours with worthless cut and pastes,arent you?
