Don't take this answer the wrong way, but who cares? Silver is going to have a much larger % rise from here to the top than wheat will.

I care. I can't eat silver.

A friend of mine was interviewing for a sales job at Kidder Peabody about 1983. He was telling the boss that he had some terrific technical work. The Boss asked him where bonds were going. My friend answered: "up". The boss got on the phone and, very loudly, gave an order to buy 10 bond futures contracts for his personal account.

He hung up the phone and told my friend: "They'd better. I'll call you in two weeks about the job."

If silver is going higher than wheat, you sell your silver for wheat....what's the issue?

That's interesting, but the price of a bond trade 2 weeks later is a coin flip. I'm talking about the top of a secular commodities trend a few years from now
