US soybeans: China buys one million tons of US soy after tariff waivers -- Bloomberg, reported today. Data points:
  • CHINA gave the waivers -- hugely interesting!! Just as the president predicted -- China needs food more than we need their plastic toys
  • 12 - 15 cargoes, or as much as one million tons
  • but it appears that China gave waivers for another two million tons in purchases
  • which is on top of the two million to three million in waivers awarded last week
  • remember: the "spin" last month was that the soybean shortfall China was experiencing could be met by other western countries; so much for that "spin" (fake news)
Trump rally -- next one just announced!
  • previously announced, the rally in Ill-Hand Omar's backyard, somewhere in Minnesota, October 10, 2019
  • next one after that, in Jerry Jones' backyard, somewhere in Dallas -- ah, here it is -- American Airlines Center -- Dallas, TX -- October 17, 2019 
  • the GOP is raking in millions of dollars off the impeachment inquiry
Politics: 2020 election --
  • Romney vs Pocahontas or Romney vs Hillary
Light vs heavy (remember: Bakken, Eagle Ford, and Permian -- light, sweet oils):
