spread narrowing a bit this morning but I hadn't been watching it closely, so I thought it might be one of my many hallucinations at the beginning of the day. Not knowing if there is a favored process for how quickly that spread narrows, it added to my fears of bottom picking attempts for June. I see May is only $1 above the April contract high and could decide to retag the 72.87 with an added correction KISS before cash gets seasonal demand to launch the next $10 rally.

I know what the typical board increase is from April expiration to May expiration but have no idea what the typical cash increase is for that time frame. Also interested in that price increase for 1998 and 2007. Those were the same cycle timeframes we are currently in------the up seasonal with bullish trade mentality against RECORD hog numbers, just before the 9 year cycle low CRASH set in with precision timing. That info would be much appreciated if you have it. If not I'll just keep wondering, either way my hallucinations will continue but I might have a few reliable facts to base my hallucinating choice on.
