WINE, CIGARS and COMMODITIES

(For the rest of 2011 I am diversifying. I believe we all need multiple streams of income. Hopefully when one is having a down day, the others will make up the difference. Here's to celebrating the joy of life utilizing new and exciting avenues of knowledge and information. Happy New Year!)

 THE POWER of the BELLIES

Those shrewd individuals who shorted the June pork belly market made a nice chunk of change last Thursday, December 30th. You would have been stopped out with a $2900 profit per contract had you set your stop loss according to resistance.

These quick and clean power profits are always a cause for celebration. This move in the meats warrants some down time for us.

Pinnotelle and Yetti 2005 Syrahs offer class, depth and complexity making them a natural match for this outstanding trade. An enticing weave of exotic spices and rich black fruit is your first encounter with Pinnotelle Syrah followed by an explosion of perceptible nuances of flavor on the palette.

Yetti Syrah is loaded with massive blueberry and blackberry fruit, so rich it almost seems criminal. An array of delicious oak and spice makes this a complex yet gratifying wine.

Nothing could be better than to complement this toast to grape and gains than a good cigar. How about a Partagas from the Dominican Republic? This is a well-balanced, smooth smoke with a solid spicy core and a touch of earthiness on the taste buds. A light woody finish accentuates the heady undertones of either of the Syrahs.

Now is the time to tip that glass and smoke that smoke to the wonder and power of pork bellies. A toast to this month’s most satisfying and successful trade in commodities….you heard about it here first.

CHEERS!
