POP YOYO 
12-9-2025
POP is expected to go up and possibly reach the highest number of the season as market has been weaker over the last week or so.  3 of the 5 days are posted and there are currently no new trends with daily ups and downs being minimal.  
As long as the POP is this cheap, we will keep waiting unless we catch a big move in the market as long as you have some time.  Keep an eye on the POP particularly on Wednesday afternoon incase the market has some big rallies in the middle of the week.
If you need some cash before the new year, the two lower risk stratagies would be:

  • to either put the cotton in the loan,
  • or POP and sell at the same time.  If you think the market will eventually go up but you need to sell now, then buying the call can be coupled with selling to give you the opportunity make money if it does go up.
What does my crystal ball say, you ask?  It is like the Edger Fiedler quote says, "he who lives by the crystal ball soon lives to chew broken glass."
