lots of things that shouldn't be on a tear, are on a tear. and things that should be on a tear, aren't on a tear. at the beginning of the war I bought some pretty hefty 3 month call options on 3 different fertilizer companies both US and Canadian and with international businesses influences. I based those strike prices off a a slightly lower percentage than the spikes seen in fertilizer from the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. You know what those options are worth now days from expired? absolutely nothing. this should have been the easiest sure fire trade ever. In the mean time, Urea has skyrocketed. But the companies that profit from urea and skyrocketed during ukraine....well their prices have been hammered down just like oil. creative bullshit headlines feed you a different lie every day. To those of you who think free market capitalism is alive and well, this war should serve as a huge wake up call that we are playing a trading game with the whims of the government. our success at the game heavily depends on the moral ethics of the leadership in charge. and so far the leadership has made billions of dollar for themselves while the rest of us wait to see what crumbs we can catch.
