20080822 1449. CPO Nov contracts now trades above 2700. What can we say? Last week it was looking like the end of the world, all were saying: "cpo looks weak" "better start hedging, price might fall to 2,200" "There are a lot of wash out trades in the market" "price won't rise". You can call these players suckers, I call it irrational overexuberance....

20070813 1710. FCPO futures managed to squeeze up to 2646 in afternoon trade, as crude oil and bean oil futures recover.... owever, the shorts are not letting up slamming down the futures again. One needs to be careful in this type of counter trend trade.
