[QUOTE="cmjust0, post: 222709, member: 2882"] I hear the boos and hisses, but I don't hear anybody proving me wrong... I'm not sure if it's because nobody really understands the issue, or if it's that you do understand but "can't handle the TRUTH," so to speak. :lol: That said, lemme try to put it in terms that are a bit more relevant to the crowd.. Say you're holding 100 steers ready for sale, and all but one meat packing plant suddenly gets shut down... What just happened to the value of your steers? What just happened to the value of processed beef? Clearly, if there aren't enough packers out there to process the number of steers on the market, there is suddenly a surplus of steers, and the price of those steers hits the floor.. Conversely, as there will certainly be a shortage of processed beef, the price of that beef will skyrocket. Now, if you guys can't see the correlation between steers/crude, packers/refineries, and beef/refined-products, we're all in trouble... :oops: Anyway, now that I've made my crazy, wacko conspiracy theory of basic, proven market forces relate to the cattle/beef markets (with an 'S', as in plural), I'm interested to see who'll have the balls to stick their neck out and try to refute it.. Anybody? Anybody? Bueller? [/QUOTE]
