Subject: carry....basis.....easy money???


SEON
"I forward contract too. I just roll my newcrop HTA"s to July and pick up 30 to 35 cents carry and 30 cent basis improvement. Either that or just do a HTA for July if the carry is favorable. Take interest cost off and just figure 50 cents. On 400k corn thats 200k dollars. Tell me a better way to make that much money."

Can someone explain what this means. I used to trade stock options so I'm not totally illiterate, but I'm a little lost on this commodity stuff.
