  • Trading Strategy: The primary focus of the trading program is agricultural commodity markets with particular emphasis on soybean, soybean products, and commodity futures and options, but does occasionally trade other markets. Mr. Davis develops trading strategies that may involve long or short futures positions as well as intra- and inter-market spread positions. Options are frequently used to manage risk exposure or general additional opportunities. Technical or chart analysis is generally used only to help determine entrance and exit points, as Mr. Davis believes that fundamentals ultimately determine price movement.
