POP YOYO 
12-4-2025
The market has dropped the last several days and the POP payment will respond by offsetting this loss by going up in the daily calculation which begins each Friday.  OF course, the POP is a 5 day average so Friday will only be the first day of that average.  It should reflect a move over 1 cent.  So while POP went from 1.23 cents to 0.72, with the current price trend being slightly down, the POP should resume conversely to an upward trend.
My strategy would be to only POP cotton that is being sold.  Cotton that not being sold is subject to downside risk that the POP payment will offset (provide a safty net).
