  1. Sven – Would you be open to performing technical and macro analyses on a couple of agricultural commodity or food equities of your choosing?

    With African Swine Fever impacting China and record rainfall in the American midwest delaying planting and projected to cause decreased crop yields, I am wondering if such analyses might uncover opportunities on the long side in 2019 / 2020.

  2. Sven, thanks for updating that! But does the Iranian attack on US bases in Iraq change the gold trading strategy? I would think there would be a flight to safety in investments – that is toward buying gold. Your thoughts?
