Dad, me, and some fence-row white pine, 40 years (and 4-5 generations of Christmas trees) apart.

Lefty tighty, every tooth by hand, and the reason for both. Tree season. #iykyk

Westbound on STH 21 to the tree farm this morning, passing a family legend down to my oldest: my great-grandpa, an Oshkosh teamster, worked a team laying the road grade across this marsh about a century ago. Still flat, still straight, still carries the load.

Somebody out there hates bean gamma in a way I can't understand. Not a recommendation. Futures and options trading involves substantial risk of loss and isn't suitable for everyone. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

We take tail risk seriously.

Oh look, a revision to the “fundamentals.” Just another reason your exposure, properly measured, is probably a better guide than the “fundamentals” or the “technicals” they paint on the chart. But stories sell better than equations. Source: nass.usda.gov/Newsroom/Notic…

Ordered a post-fish-fry grasshopper, and got a little more than I bargained for - PBR for scale. #Wisco

Our client, Tyler (@KuglerFarms), put up a bin and asked if we wanted a sign on it. Then, he took this gorgeous pic for us. Find the sign, tag us with a photo, and we'll send you a roll of our famous Quartzite tape. This post isn't indicative of future performance or success.

I wonder how many times will need to “destroy” Kharg Island. It seems Iranian stuff we destroy has a nasty habit of resurrecting itself.
Trump: Kharg Island is being completely destroyed.

A corn options 3-way at $50/leg is $150 in commission round turn. The market makers you trade against are some of the best vol traders alive, competing aggressively for maybe $6.25–$12.50 of edge on the whole package, and they probably don’t care whether you’re buying or selling it. Your broker collects 12–24x what the guy taking your risk does. Ask him why. Ask him what edge he has that can make up for you starting 3 1/8 cents behind when the pros are clamoring for the 1/8 they’re getting to actually warehouse the risk. You give up less vig at the blackjack table, and at least they bring you drinks.
