WHAT DOES THE CHICAGO MERCANTILE EXCHANGE (CME) KNOW?

We all know that we are in the beginning of a "Great" bull maket in commodities, don’t we? We have been reading about the bull market in most of the financial media. Therefore, it must be true! No one knows more about the truth than the media!

Can’t the members of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) read? Do our eyes deceive us? Perhaps CME members have no eyes and ears. Why are they refusing to participate in this unprecedented, fortune making opportunity?

You ask, Krautkramer, why are you saying this to us? I’m operating under the deluded assumption that you care about your equity. So bare with me while I burst another bubble!

The Chicago Mercantile Exchange is the largest, most aggresive commodity exchange in the world.

It seems reasonable to assume that they have a grasp of business conditions worldwide. It is also reasonable to assume that they know something about commodities! If these are valid assumptions, than we must ask why someone at the CME doesn’t like what they see!

You challenge with, you know this how? The proof is in the tape. The tape is the original word for quotes, a carry over from the days of ticker tapes in the brokerage offices. Form (chart) reading is a convenient way to display the "Truth of the Tape". We begin with the daily chart of the CME.

A quick look at the daily chart shows us three important facts. First, that CME began trading on 12/06/2002. Second, that CME made a very important high at 203.25 on 1/03/2005. Third, since this high, a major price reversal has occurred!

The weekly chart for CME allows us to easily see the importance of the top of 1/03/2005.

SUMMARY

It’s obvious that there are unusual sales of CME occurring. This is the first time in CME’s trading history that this has occurred. The questions are selling by whom, and why.

The first question is easy. The selling is probably being done by people with a lot of knowledge about the commodities futures business.

The second question is more speculative. We can say with certainty that people with a lot of knowledge have decided to reduce their commitments to the commodity futures business at this time.

If this a good time to buy commodities, then why are the people with the most knowledge of the futures business reducing their commitments to the business that gets commissions from all the trading?

FORGET THE DRAMA! TRADE WITH THE TREND, AND PROSPER!
