Introduction Compact

I love spreads. I think they are one of the most reasonable
and fun ways to play the futures game. But I can't keep my
eye on all of them. This board hopefully will be used for people
to vent their ideas on interesting/new/proven spreads.
I favor meat spreads, energy spreads. I am currently long Dec Live
Hogs/Short April Live Hogs. The spread on this one is truly historically aberrant. Why? Also Long Dec Heating Oil, short Dec
Unleaded Gasoline. I just closed out a modified reverse crush. Well,
hopefully we'll get a lively and complex discussion here.
