I dont mess w futures anymore after this incident I had

Mar 27, 2024, 10:09 AM

I've lost everything because of the Suez Canal fiasco on the Egyptian/ European Easter bunny future run up.

I spent $50,000 on surefire Egyptian bunny rabbit futures. This was money that was supposed to be saved for buying a new house and was mainly accrued from dumping pay checks into SPY over the years.

On the 27th of February 2021, I got tipped off from a buddy that works in the bunny breeding industry. He said that due to the pandemic, Europeans were buying pets like crazy, and one animal in particular... bunny rabbits.
Now this made me look into Egyptian bunny futures as they produce the most bunnies in the world. The premiums were amazing, this was like buying ####### apple at IPO. On top of all of this, Easter was just a couple months around the corner and a massive shipment of bunnies was meant to leave Egypt and make its way to a port in France. I'm talking a ####### boat load of carrot munching, sex hungry, "what's up doc" mother fers , not just a container.

So I placed my bet, expiring the week of Easter, for when the shipment would come. Since there were barely any bunnies in France/ all of Europe, there was no supply to meet demand. However, I had it on good authority that prices would barely drop since so many Europeans wanted the little fluffy MFeers

All was going well, my money was going up and it was the most euphoric feeling ever...
Until that Wednesday at 10am, I wake up to check how many unrealized tendies I have. To my horror I was down 48%. I frantically called my aforementioned buddy in the industry and he tells me to look up the Suez canal.

It turns out the shipment was delayed by a day out of Egypt and right after they left port, some big ####### ship decided to block the whole canal.
Since Egypt shipped out essentially every last bunny in the #### country, they didn't need any more bunny food. So every single one of them is going to run out of food over the next week and die on that ship (no point in bringing them back to port cause there's no food to feed them). Once they arrive in France they will dump the dead bunnies, pick up the next shipment and move on.

I lost it all!!! Lesson learned w futures.
