That there punter who lost $141.5m overnight selling wheat short just over a fortnight ago would be looking at the biggest Christmas bonus of all-time if he'd just waited a bit.
Timing is everything in this game & unfortunately for him he got his just a little bit wrong.
It reminds me of a certain Pat O'Boyle, who remembers him? He sold summer wheatfeed short one year & got it all wrong & it ended up costing him his business. I guess many of you remember that? Do you also remember that it was subsequently proven that he was right to sell it short? The market ultimately collapsed, unfortunately for Pat just a couple of months after he'd succumbed. He was right all along, unfortunately his timing was just slightly awry.
