This is the chart of the day published in my newsletter.

MOO - VanEck Vectors Agribusiness ETF is consolidating at its highs.

The direction of the break should signal the direction of grain prices.

Might not have to wait long, maybe Nov 21 and closes over 94.75 to indicate more strength

Why would that lead grains? Wouldn't the companies within the fund be followers of grains, not leaders?

I would think this would be a trailing indicator.

Yeah, it could be.

I have a thesis that company stocks tend to lead the commodities.

It is based on a gut instinct.

Totally unproven.

Maybe this will be a test case.

ETF's have no underling, ie the fund goes bust, you got nothing. It's a ponzi per say. They are an in and out deal, not a long term hold. You are better off owning shares in specific companies if you are gonna hold for x years till you retire. Don't get into ETF's without knowing your timeline and give up point. There's maintenance involved is all I'm saying. Im saying don't use them long term, it's one of many tools available.

One, this could be a way to hedge against inputs if you haven't bought yet, or can't get supply right now. Or are looking at the following year or more already.

Two, ETF's are terrible for buy and hold, even when the trend is going the right direction, their value can and does erode relative to the underlying. Speaking from personal experience too. So still probably better off buying the underlying stocks directly.

Certainly looks that way.
How often in history has the high been put in during harvest, almost never from what I remember.
