Thinking about a cruise? How about a cruise ship offering lifeboats with a toilet?

Kos,
Totally anecdotal story about Bamboo(Sugar Cane?). I lived in Northern California for over
thirty years. During the '70's a horrible seven year drought occurred. During the last few
years it was so bad that the following rules were established:

1. Monthly water allotment. If you went over, your water was shut off.
2. No lawn or plant watering. You could use leftover cooking water for that. Once a week
you could drive your car up onto the lawn and wash it. That's it.
3. No baths, only showers. Turn water on, get wet, turn water off. Soap up. Turn water on,
rinse off, turn water off.
4. Flush toilet only for number two.

We lived in a condo, a townhouse end unit. Next to us was a stand of bamboo. During the
last two years of the drought, it grew like crazy, sent runners under our fence,
established roots I had to chop out with an axe.
Therefore, I'm thinking drought isn't going to do diddly-squat to sugar cane. But like I
said, this is totally anecdotal.

I admit I have not looked at the BDI in awhile. I can't seem to find my special glasses
right now so I need help. Looking at the relational charts available, is the BDI looking
bullish or bearish for commodities? Or does it matter?

$WMT : 63-42 = 21

42 and 13 = 55. Two monthly dojis in the 59-60 area.

Those are areas of interest. And I'd agree, things have turned positive.

If Anyone's able to trade futures, set alerts for Soybean Meal. Don't think you should
hold it past contract expy date unless you've got soybeans to deliver though *lol*

Thanks Ryan. My wife Chrissie should be doing the trading, not me!
By the way, I'M looking for slow, drawer stocks like WMT. Value Line likes WMT too.

in addition to utilities, TAN and GEX are set up for a move as well. this would definately
be a sector more favorable to most of the traders on this forum relative to utilities

Sry - am steam cleaning today so stepped away. I was able to short it BMO but my daughter
said she couldnt' get shares during the normal trading session [AMTD, ETFC and Fidelity]
so obviously I'm not the only one. If you're going to, try premarket or AMC.

They need the rain in India. IDK but here's one *anal*ysts view on sugar from India and
Brazil. Either way, I'll wait for a break up or down.

Ryan,
$SPX - I thought that's what you meant. I just wanted to make sure. That's a good point.
In fact it's at the highest level since March/04.
