I just read that tariffs go into effect today (Friday) and that AFTER a deal is signed, then they will be reduced. Looks more and more like NO DEAL any time soon. Looks like a war with China and it is not going to be pretty, but it needs to be done.

mcfarm,

Please leave political barbs in the NTR section. 

Thanks

No rush. Dow -297, Corn -6, Soy -3, wheat -6 as I type this. We exporters are expendable.

It is not the china deal that is doing this. It is the US FED. The money supply came out again yesterday and the growth rates of M2 are in the toilet again. Expect another down turn per US FED and nobody else. If the FED put some more money in the system we would be employed and growing. The US FED is the most evil entity around.

and to add to Richard's comment, we lost a possible great member last week when Steven Moore got ran out

This guy? He's just what the 45 crowd was looking for.

After this last comment, going to have to move this down to the NTR section, also following a request from a contact moderator email  earlier today.
