Phil's Comments
***Cargill Market outlook - Thurs Nov 20th - bus will pick up here @ 4:15 - Dinner 5:30 @ Utica back here by 9:30

Corn closed 5 3/4 cents lower on weak demand worries. Most feel ethanol plants are cutting back because of poor profit margins & export demand has gotten off to a slow start. Also, worries that new president will follow thru on his campaign promises to unions & drastically cut foreign trade - a disaster for Agriculture.

Soybeans ended 4 1/2 cents lower in very quiet trade. USDA put soybean harvest @ 95% done but corn only 78% - that means over 2 bil bu. of corn is still out in field. After we closed, stock market rallies 140 pts. & crude fell to down .50.
    

Futures trading is not for everyone.   You must be financially fit to trade and able to tolerate typical market movements.   If you are considering trading on the futures markets, please check with your financial advisor to see if commodity trading is for you.
