There was a startling headline in the NY Times July 31st quoting that the Chicago Mercantile Exchange would no longer be trading Pork Belly Futures. It is a result of a change in our eating habits as we consume bacon now on a year round basis. "The demise of the futures means something else is really gone now, too - a unique belly culture and its hard-charging daring cast of characters who decades ago, made their fortunes in the high pressure of the belly pit." There was one analyst who died right there. "Bellies killed him" it was said. So, no longer should we fear to see that scare headline "PORK BELLIES ARE DOWN!"
