Talk:Contango

message: Guys, the graph is showing how the price of ONE SPECIFIC futures evolves over time. I think it's really misleading for newbies. Somebody should add a second graph that shows the curves.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.232.118.90 (talk) 19:27, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Stupid graph

message: Actually I the graph is correct, but the explanation doesn't make it plain.  I'm going to fix it.  Gn842 (talk) 20:34, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Wrong graph

message: *Do not merge: Just because they're related that is no reason they can't each have their own article (should we merge Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader just because they're related?). For one thing, each is a topic long enough for its own article. As long as you have a prominent link to Backwardation and an explanation that it is the inverse of Contango - and vice versa - I see no need to merge the articles.

thread_title: Merger with [[Backwardation]] discussion

message: I have changed a passage to reflect that the article quoted was in a tone of uncertainty.  Also, since there are ongoing investigations as to whether this practice took place, I added more recent info.
I don't have a good working understanding of economics though, and this section might need to be moved.  Regards.  ADStark (talk) 17:13, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Recent article describes ETF losses by commodity investors 

message: There is also alot of text included which does not relate to the subject matter nor provide background understanding.
There are alot of factors which can affect the contango and allow it to go above the storage cost such as risk premium.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stuartwaudby (talk • contribs) 12:26, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Missing the point? 

message: Hey folks, the graph is wrong. I work in a commodity trading company and we define a commodity being "in contango" when then forward curve has a positive slope. The picture is showing exactly the opposite position. Other sources online correspond to our definition as well i.e. http://commodityhq.com/2012/what-is-contango/  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 153.100.131.12 (talk) 13:00, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
