The cost of corn on the market has dropped $2.00 a bushel this month on the Chicago Board of Trade. Could it be due to drop of oil prices? Could it be due to readjustment of production and demand ratio? Oops, no evidence that ethanol or corn is in short supply. Could it be due to market speculation and abuse of the naked short selling rule?

Something tells me market speculation abuse is playing a much larger role in prices increases then it should be lawfully allowed to be.
