Technical analysis of CBOT grains

This is in continuation and update to our previous analysis. You can find the post here


Rice has reacted exactly as had hoped. I guess, it is likely to see some range bound action in next few sessions, basically stemming from the fact the prices are likely to stay below the falling angles which are near 20. The fact that it has retraced 61% will be good for its next rally. The zone of 18 - 17 will act as a good support.

Soybeans have given a break out exactly as we had expected. It has now made an ascending triangle. Prices would ideally retrace to retest the supports at 1400s. The momentum indicators are looking good. May be headed to 16 + levels. The triangle target would however be at 19.




Wheat has also played exactly as we expected, with the bottom forming. The indicators have all taken a turn for good. This is likely to have a good rally once the momentum picks up. The MACD is on the verge of moving into positive territory.

All have played out good, over past two weeks. It is likely that we can see some good movements in these commodities over a period of time. Though I am tempted to count it as the 2nd corrective wave, its too much at stake to claim that now. Its good to play the trend here.

Cognitive rules of business presentations

In his recent book, Clear and to the Point, Kosslyn explained that the four rules of PowerPoint are: The Goldilocks Rule, The Rudolph Rule, The Rule of Four, and the Birds of a Feather Rule. Here's how they work. The Goldilocks Rule refers to presenting the "just right" amount of data. Never include more information than your audience needs in a visual image. As an example, Kosslyn showed two graphs of real estate prices over time. One included ten different numbers, one for each year. The other included two numbers: a peak price, and the current price. For the purposes of a presentation about today's prices relative to peak price, those numbers were the only ones necessary. The Rudolph Rule refers to simple ways you can make information stand out and guide your audience to important details -- the way Rudolph the reindeer's red nose stood out from the other reindeers' and led them. If you're presenting a piece of relevant data in a list, why not mak...

Definition of Cult Stocks

From a blog: A classification describing stocks that have a sizable investor following, despite the fact that the underlying company has somewhat insignificant fundamentals. Typically, investors are initially attracted to the company's potential and accumulate positions in speculation that its potential will be fulfilled, providing the investors with a substantial payout. While most of these cult stocks promise they will be the next big story after they make a new discovery or get the newest contract from the government, most do not provide investors with anything other than the story. Furthermore, these stocks typically generate very little, if any, revenue at all. For example, many micro-cap biotech stocks are cult stocks. While they promise that they are going to be working on a miracle compound or drug, most of them do not have any source of income as they slowly burn away their initial capital in research and development. However, some cult stocks do occasionally make good on...
