-
that's called cross-hedging.
-
That means across products;I'm going from one product to another.
-
So, I could be raising some of this beautiful Indian corn that--
-
remember it turns all these different colors
-
and people hang it on their doors at Halloween--
-
that's not suitable for delivery at the CBOT.
-
If I'm raising that, there's no market--it's no future--
-
it's no big market for that, but it probably correlates with regular corn
-
so I could cross-hedge.
-
If I'm raising Indian corn and I'm worried about the price,
-
I can sell in the futures market in Chicago
-
and buy it back the next day
