Performance for the month of February ended flat. Our grain spreads moved against us, initially causing the month of February to slip into negative territory. We still expect to see some market movement in the grains during planting season, and if this happens, we ought to benefit from it. If not, these spreads could move more against us causing a further, yet controlled small loss.
We have a good Eurodollar position in our portfolio. We expect the Federal Reserve to raise rates which, in our opinion, will give us more profit in this Eurodollar spread strategy.
During March we are willing to start some new spread positions in meat futures and in energy futures as the spring season is favorable for these strategies.
Yours Sincerely,
Gregory Placsintar
