that I don't recall ever having been tested to this degree. It's sure not using the normal paint drying tactics of the norm. My attempt to get another 80 cents of upside scalp on the cattle finally failed with a small donation today. I've been expecting it, so it didn't damage my thought process. I did make an instinctive boat switch by dumping my spread and jumping into a better 45.20 Spread Boat with a short June cattle @ 115.25/long June hogs @ 70.05. This one has a good feel------at the moment but the day and week is not over yet.

This years challenge for the cattle/hog spread is really testing my resolve and bias. Almost to the point of, is it worth all of this anxiety. If it wasn't for my addiction for mental challenges, I would have said the heck with it two weeks ago. I have two other guys that are fans of this spread trade, that abandoned ship a week ago. I can't say that I blame them------they are not as tried or frustrated as I am but they have made a donation and I haven't------yet. The storm rages on and the waters are still rough but one more week and the seasonal RAINBOW should appear. I need to keep this one afloat------a little bit longer.
