Improve Your Marketing Decisions With Price Signals

Left Column

Each grain sale starts with a decision and marketing decisions are tough. Tough because producing a crop often means not having enough time to closely follow and analyze numerous information sources before making that marketing decision.

That's why Lighthouse Labs created Price Signals. Our Price Signal formula takes into account dozens of commodity price variables and uses them to create a daily output, or Price Signal. The resulting daily Price Signal chart indicates whether to Sell, Hold or Buy a commodity, allowing you to quickly and confidently make marketing decisions.

"I can spend 5 minutes looking at Price Signals to see if we are trending into an area to be making a sale or be patient and wait for better opportunities. This helps me be mentally prepared to make a sale and feel good about it. Price Signals reduce the need for me to spend a lot of time researching and gathering information on various commodities and cattle I market."

When used alongside fundamental market analysis, they offer a tremendous decision-making tool."
