Soybean Overconsumption (first seven months of 2009/10)
What this means

The soybean prices are going way up. How high they go depends on how long the current overconsumption lasts.

However, with one months more of the current overconsumption, soybeans prices will have to double or triple to ration demand.

Watch for the USDA’s Madoff Moment

As his ponzi scheme collapsed due to withdrawal requests, Madoff had to face reality and shocked the world by admitting the truth. Investors who believed they owned billions found they had a little over 100 million to divide among themselves. The USDA, in the next two months, will also have to face the reality and admit to the world that the US is missing a ten to twenty million metric tons of soybeans. The news should be as well received as Madoff’s announcement.
