        Hmmmmm. Having a go at the wheat futures market today then AtW. The Commitments of Traders report comes out later today. We can see from the turkey's beak if the open interest is held by speckulants or hedgers (i.e. farmers and food processors).

        Edit: Just checked last week's version.
        Producer/Merchant/Processor/User: Net -175,659 (contracts)
        Managed Money: Net 15,164 (contracts)

        So much for the speckulants.

        How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
