Gevo Signs Agreement With FCStone to Originate and Supply Corn for Luverne Plant
Agreement is Expected to Free Up More Than $1 Million of Working Capital and Improve Gevo's Corn Purchasing Capabilities
ENGLEWOOD, Colo., June 3, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gevo, Inc. (Nasdaq:GEVO), announced today that it has entered into an agreement with FCStone Merchant Services, LLC to originate and supply corn for Gevo's plant in Luverne, Minn.
Engaging FCStone to conduct Gevo's corn purchasing at Luverne is expected to free up more than $1 million of working capital, which has previously been tied up in corn inventory. This relationship leverages the strength and reputation of FCStone, one of the largest and most respected corn buyers in the United States.
By leveraging FCStone's scale and corn buying expertise, Gevo expects to significantly improve its corn purchasing capabilities by increasing the number of suppliers (farmers and elevators) from which Gevo will buy corn, and by extending the duration of its forward corn purchasing commitments, which should enable Gevo to take advantage of lower corn price environments.
As part of this arrangement, Gevo will pay an origination fee for every bushel of corn it purchases from FCStone. FCStone will pay Gevo an annual fee for leasing the corn storage bins at the Luverne plant.
FCStone is a division of INTL FCStone Inc. (Nasdaq:INTL), and a leader in providing specialized financial services in commodities, securities, global payments, foreign exchange and other markets to its clients. FCStone utilizes innovative origination tools to assist commercial organizations in sourcing their grain needs. FCStone constantly designs new programs to procure corn by working closely with commercial grain elevators, livestock feeders and ethanol plants, with the goal of enhancing margins. INTL FCStone Inc. recognized operating revenues of almost $500 million in fiscal year 2014.
"This strategic relationship is intended to improve our corn purchasing ability, improve margins, free up cash, and allow us to focus on our core businesses," said Patrick Gruber, Chief Executive Officer of Gevo, Inc. "We are very pleased to be working with FCStone, and look forward to continuing to work with and support the local corn community in the Luverne area."

Curated Interview With Richard Dennis From Market Wizards
Posted on July 18, 2011 by Coke| Leave a comment
I previously wrote a post about Market Wizards: Interviews With Top Traders. This post is the third in a series of curated interview questions and responses from the notes that I took while reading the book.
Who is Richard Dennis?
Richard Dennis is another trader with an excellent reputation but surprisingly little is known about his personal life and background. It seems that he prefers to keep a low profile, similar to Bruce Kovner who I wrote about here. Nevertheless, Jack D. Schwager felt that he was an “essential name” to include when drawing up a list of interview candidates for his book and other traders interviewed in his book remarked “I’m not in his league,” when they learned about Richard Dennis’ involvement.
Richard Dennis is best known for conducting an experiment with fellow trader William Eckhardt to answer the question of whether trading could be taught. Richard Dennis believed that trading was a skill that could be defined by a set of rules while William Eckhardt believed otherwise, claiming that elite traders possessed an innate gift or instinct for trading. To settle this debate, Richard Dennis recruited 23 traders from a pool of over 1,000 applications. Richard Dennis taught them a basic trend following trading strategy along with probability and money management and allowed them to manage $100,000 of his own money. Richard Dennis’s experiment proved that his hypothesis was true — he claims that his recruits averaged 100 percent profit per year.
On the right psychological mindset:
For a lot of traders, it doesn’t matter so much whether their first big trade is successful or not, but whether their first big profit is on the long or short side. Those people tend to be perennial bulls or bears, and that is very bad. Both sides have to be equally OK. There can’t be anything psychologically more satisfying about one than the other. If there is, your trading is going to go askew.
On taking losses:
Since then, I have learned that when you have a destabilizing loss, get out, go home, take a nap, do something, but put a little time between that and your next decision. When you are getting beat to death, get your head out of the mixer. Looking back, I realized that if I had had a trading rule about losses, I wouldn’t have had that traumatic experience.
You mentioned that before you developed a mechanical trading system, you paid close attention to the trading process. Did you keep a log of what you did right and wrong, or was it a matter of memory?
Yes, I would write down observations and think about them. I thought about everything I was doing.
Is that something you would advise other traders to do to improve – that is, keep track of what they are doing right and what they are doing wrong?
Sure. The trading experience is so intense that there is a natural tendency to want to avoid thinking about it once the day is over. I am that way when things are working. But, when they are not, it spurs me to want to think about what I’m doing and how I might do better. When things go bad, traders shouldn’t stick their heads in the sand and just hope it gets better.
What you are saying is that the times when it is most tempting to avoid thinking about the markets at all are the times when you should be thinking about them the most.
Right. I don’t have any problem with that because I am obsessive about the markets.
What about entering a new trade counter to a prevailing trend?
I’ve certainly done it – that is, made countertrend initiations. However, as a rule of thumb, I don’t think you should do it.
Do those type of trades do more poorly than other trades?
Generally, yes, although every now and then they may give you a great story like going short sugar at 60 cents, which I did. I’ve got ten stories like that. But I have to tell you, in all honesty, I don’t think the broad class of trades I have done like that have been profitable.
On keeping an open mind and expecting the unexpected:
There is another point that I think is as important: You should expect the unexpected in this business; expect the extreme. Don’t think in terms of boundaries that limit what the market might do. If there is any lesson I have learned in the nearly twenty years that I’ve been in this business, it is that the unexpected and the impossible happen every now and then.
Why do you handle other people’s money? You are doing very well on your own.
Well, there is one big advantage: managed money offers potential return with no risk. For ten years, people have been asking me if I’m getting tired of all the risk. Do I think I’m going to burn out? Do I think I’m going to stop? For the longest time I didn’t understand what they were talking about. But I have to admit, at this point, I understand the value of cutting down your own risk. I could have traded smaller and had a smaller profit and smaller risk. But if customer money comes in, I could use that to supplement the profitability and still keep my risk lower. It just gives you a better deal.
When you talk about the experience of managing well over $100 million and losing roughly 50 percent, not to mention your personal large losses, you discuss it with great emotional detachment. Do you really take it that calmly? Isn’t there an emotional side to it?
I try for there not to be. It is totally counterproductive to get wrapped up in the results. Trading decisions should be made as unemotionally as possible.
Yes, but how do you do that?
You have to maintain your perspective. There is more to life than trading. Also, to me, being emotionally deflated would mean lacking confidence in what I am doing. I avoid that because I have always felt that it is misleading to focus on short-term results.
Is there any advice you can give to other traders on how to stay emotionally calm during periods of trading losses?
It is a little bit like playing golf: You can throw your clubs around after making a bad shot, but while you are making the next shot you should keep your head down and your eye on the ball.
On missing a profitable opportunity:
The worst thing you can do is miss a profit opportunity (assuming you are already disciplined enough to cut your losses short). And if you think about it, rigid long-term views are the kind of thing most likely to lead you to that mistake. For example, if I believe the dollar is going to weaken, and because of this I ignore a sell signal in the foreign currencies, I might risk missing a large profit. What is my reward if my view was right? Avoiding a small loss. Therefore, the risk/reward is all wrong for my type of trading.
What is the most important advice you could give the novice trader?
Trade small because that’s when you are as bad as you are ever going to be. Learn from your mistakes. Don’t be misled by the day-to-day fluctuations in your equity. Focus on whether what you are doing is right, not on the random nature of any single trade’s outcome.
The Truth: A Two-Edged Sword
Posted on May 27, 2015 by Michael Covel — Comments
The truth is, almost everything about superior investing is a two-edged sword:
-If you invest, you will lose money if the market declines.
-If you don’t invest, you will miss out on gains if the market rises.
-Market timing will add value if it can be done right.
-Buy-and-hold will produce better results if timing can’t be done right.
-Aggressiveness will help when the market rises but hurt when it falls.
-Defensiveness will help when the market falls but hurt when it rises.
-If you concentrate your portfolio, your mistakes will kill you.
-If you diversify, the payoff from your successes will be diminished.
-If you employ leverage, your successes will be magnified.
-If you employ leverage, your mistakes will be magnified.

Billionaire philanthropist David Rockefeller has successfully undergone his sixth heart transplant in 38 years at the venerable age of 99 years old.
The heart transplant surgery, which lasted 6 hours and was done by a team of private surgeons at his principal residence, on the family estate in Pocantico Hills, New York, doesn’t seem to have tired the legendary business man known for his dynamism and cunningness.
His first heart transplant occurred in 1976 after a dramatic car accident led him to suffer a heart attack. He was operated 24 hours later and up and jogging a week later.

David Rockefeller will be resting for the next weeks in his Hanuatu Island complex after he successfully underwent his sixth heart transplant in 38 years at the venerable age of 99
The 99-year old man allowed reporters to ask him a few questions only 36 hours after the operation, a testament to the sturdy health of the American icon.
«Every time I get a new heart, it is like the breath of life is swept across my body. I feel reenergized and alive» he told reporters.
Asked about the secret to his longevity, Mr Rockefeller explained a simple life is the way to go.
«People often ask me this question and I always answer the same thing: Love life. Live a simple life, play with your kids, enjoy the things you have, spend time with good loyal friends» he acknowledged with a kind smile.
«I’ve made a lot of money in my life, but I’ve given most of it away. There is no point of having if you can’t share» explained the renown philanthropist.
The man that has also had two kidney transplants in 1988 and 2004 is still extremely positive about his health and hopes to live up to 200 years, he told reporters jokingly and in good spirit, only hours after his operation.
Long live the nuts!
