Stocks so dif from commods

Yes I was with 2 FCMs in 79-81 during silver run. Learned lot. Turns fast if Exchange changes margin reqs or slaps on a Sale Only but otherwise usually trends better than most stocks.
Funny thing is how ordinary Joe thinks commodities so 'high risk' compared to everyday DIS ConEd X DAL etc.
Except for the rare Hershey for divys stocks a crap shoot when head guys are crooks or bookkeeper CFO gets the Brazil itch.
Hard to fleece soybeans. lol
Reduce your stock stakes and park some in the $15-25 range for a bit just to reduce stress while concentrating on commods. Try a few /CL XLE USO for oil sport.
Good weekend.

It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.
