Haha, to quote a banker, talking about speculation on food (as in wheat, corn etc.):

It does not make food more expensive. It just increases the volatility.

Who does not get the joke: Increased volatility means the difference between highs and lows are bigger.
And since the talk was about a long high, what does that mean?
The food price was higher, food more expensive.

Oh @scalextrix, how come it's a bad thing? So they bend it a little, but you get to see the show.

And you get to make some money when they are exhausted after all that bending having brought the asset's price down. That's time for you to enter :)

I guess I'm boring, a slow predictable march to riches is my ideal ha ha
