      Yes, it was another nice interview. Chris has been on fire lately. Actually all the guys have been doing a great job. I was thinking back over the past year and marveling at how much my perspectives on the markets had improved and how well much of it turned out. For me, a lot of the sense of progress came from listening in to this show each day and hearing the varied thoughts of the guys here. That really helped me fine tune my own thinking which can get wonky if I am stewing over ideas alone. My sense of timing and direction really improved as one outcome and for me, to catch the turns in the dollar/euro, innumerable declines in precious metals and the end of QE were just a few of the highlights. We really do learn from one another and this show has been invaluable in my own efforts to improve my trading skills. I don’t know that I will ever have the timing and precision of someone like Rick Ackerman nor the good political and market sense of Chris but I can feel satisfied I have gained from the wisdom and experience of these guys and so many of the others here. So Kudos to you Al and to Cory too for putting together a great show with a collection of good minds that are at their best when they come together on a site like this. And a very Merry Christmas to all.

        Thanks, Birdman and Merry Christmas to you as well. Thanks for the e-mail the other day, too — I’ll be in touch.

    Chris……..did we not just have the SENATE backstop JPM and the banks on all the derivatives……………..to the tune of $303 Trillion…………..?????

      Generally speaking, yes…of course, Obama had to sign the bill. It’s been interesting to see — similarly to what happened with Clinton by the time his stint was winding down — that REAL progressives (as opposed to Establishment Democrats) realize once more that they’ve been HAD…this time, by Obama and his handlers. At least, that is, where the Wall Street crowd and its priorities are concerned…

        Should people occupy White House or Capitol Hill? Where are they?

          303 trillion is not small change. It might cost up to generations to save that up

            THIS is a real problem……….when and if things go bad for the banks,,,which most like they will on the bets they have made……….therefore, the people will owe the debt that the bankers have racked up……………IF, THE REVENUES OF THE US…are $350bill, and the debt per year is $1.1 Trill…………..and add on another $303trill………IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO REPAY…………………….CAN ANYONE SAY BANANNA…..

            like to likely

    THE TAXPAYERS ARE TOAST……………..

    By the way Chris, wheat turned down exactly on schedule. Off 3.5% after a long run upwards. I was mentioning yesterday that it was set to decline and I am pretty pleased as you might imagine because I caught that to the day. Now we await corn to follow……hey, you were right. There is too damn much corn!

      MY CORN check for crop sharing was the biggest it has been in 6 years…………..low price but BIG YIELD…………………………………………J
