The day was mostly stagnant in day-trading grains today. I will hope for better conditions tomorrow. Eventually, the bull market in grains will re-emerge. We just have to wait it out!

Portfolio Manager, Head Strategist
About Me
- S Benard
- United States
- I am a student of economics, financial analyst, and futures trader, specializing in agricultural commodities, and especially grains, but I also trade gold and other metals, soft commodities, treasuries, and stock index futures. I began trading spot Forex currency crosses in May 2003, and in August 2006, I met a futures trader who has been making a living in futures for more than 20 years, and he became my futures mentor. I've never looked back, and I am now head trader for Global Capital Reserves, my own firm. I also have both Bachelors and Master of Science degrees in business. I really enjoy trading futures, and hope to share my successes, a few failures, and methodologies.
