Let's price specu- late with 5% - 50,000 bushels - of the holding. Let's zero percent margin these bushels in a commodity futures contract market. Recall, the last closing price of the nearest bean future in Chicago was 504 cents per bushel. On an all cash basis - zero percent margin - we must have $252,000. Let's suppose this weeks closing price will behave something like it has in the past - 312 weeks. Let's ask the computer to find the gain we may expect in the future. Our program has accumulated a gross gain of $210,000. Our program has made 11 changes in the price direction - UP / DOWN - pointer. Our average gain is $40,500. Our average loss is $19,000. We have been successful 64% of the time - unsuccessful the remainder. We expect to gain $18,500 on the next directional change. Our directional has not changed since the price was 518 cents per bushel. That's a gross GAIN of $7,000 on the last arrow. Similarily, for the last directional - CORN and WHEAT - the gross GAINS are $18,500 and $19,500. Enter COST.TXT next.
