Summary

Trading almost exclusively in agricultural futures and options, Lone Star uses both fundamental and technical analysis, with the ultimate determination based on fundamental analysis. A low M/E ratio and spreads are used to control risk. Many of the trades take advantage of seasonal trends that typically occur in the agriculture markets. Managed futures strategies are employed in an attempt to optimize entry and exit points and thereby reduce risk.

Investment Strategy

The firm employs a fundamental discretionary trading style, drawing upon such considerations as supply/demand analysis, seasonal patterns, weather forecasts, and historical price/use ratios.

Risk Management

FSCC attempts to control risk by utilizing spread trades, a low margin-to-equity ratio, option volatility calculations and other proprietary techniques. Trade duration may vary from a few days to several months, although most trades tend to be relatively long-term.

   

Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. The risk of loss in trading commodity futures, options, and foreign exchange ("forex") is substantial.
