    Dealing with buying and selling in a down market.

    When you don't buy enough material to hedge safely on a daily basis, and our margins are squeezed to less than transportation costs.....That scenario is called a rock and a hard place.
    Any suggestions?

    Do a lot more reading on the forum and study outside of it as well. Find a niche market you can excel at. You will find many of the members have physical limitations in their lives but still find ways to make a profit. I am one of those who had to be a little creative and set my sights low.

    Take in a deep breath to remove the obstacle in your way and start educating yourself. Take a few chances and see what works. Mike
