Agronomy

By its nature, the agronomy market is cyclical. The reason is that during harvest time there is a build of supply, and the demand remains more or less constant

causing the equilibrium point at which supply and demand lines to be inherently lower than it would if the amount of grain available for sale were fewer farmers would be

able to ask for a higher price.

Agronomy is also a price-taker industry instead of a price-setter industry that has a novel product that it can hide behind patent/trademarks. This makes the equity side of

Agronomy is only profitable for large pharmaceutical firms that have the preexisting technologies in place to do research on which species of grain produces the most

and is also disease resistant. These are the reasons that during the harvest each Stegosaur Investments, Inc. takes a short position, and uses the proceeded to purchase puts 

on the underlying asset of grain. We wait until the price's daily x-intercept has flat-lined we close out shorts, and execute our puts. This is one of the several trading strategies that Stegosaur Investments, Inc. has in place for a variety of industries including grain.

Below is the price line of our agronomic investment from inception to date.

Agronomy is not the forte of Stegosaur Investments, Inc. also with the extreme cyclical nature of agronomy we are in and out of the market when it is within our strike

zone, and out of the market when the market is out of our strike zone.
