JIM'S MARKET THOUGHT OF THE DAY *
Did you happen to catch the CNBC interview with Jim
Rogers Monday afternoon? He's the diminutive, bow-
tied market watcher with a big following. Rogers is
still very bullish commodities in the coming years.
He is staying out of the stock market at present,
and will stay out for some time, because he says
another economic downturn is coming in a year or
two. He said the price of gold will be over
$2,000.00 an ounce in the next few years. I would
not want to bet against Rogers. He's been pretty
much right in his predictions on markets the past
few years.--Jim

GRAINS
Prices were higher in overnight trading, on a
corrective bounce from recent selling pressure and
as the key "outside markets" are in a bullish
posture for the grains this morning. The U.S.
dollar index is weaker, while crude oil and the
U.S. stock indexes are higher. Very good harvest
progress in the U.S. Corn Belt recently is still a
negative for corn and soybeans. Traders are
awaiting Friday morning's USDA monthly crop
production report.
