Below I have 3 questions: 1. I am wondering what the key reports are that affect the Agricultural future options (corn, soy, wheat, etc.) and where I can get more info and track these reports? 2. Also, do options on these ags typically behave the same way equity options behave leading up an earnings report? 3. Finally, what are the most liquid futures options besides gold, silver, and oil? Question from Anthony Fields: I was just reading through a book (won’t name them here to give them a free plug) that blamed the crash in 2008 on derivatives - particularly S&P futures and SPX options. What’s your take on stuff like that? Drive you crazy or is there some truth?
