Heating Oil

Although MRCI Seasonal Chart shows that going Long HOM20 - Short HOF20 could be a good spread , the volumes are pretty low.
Is anyone considering this as a possible trade?

Sept Corn Put

I notice Hightower recommending to short the Corn Sept 420 Put. I don't see the attraction in this particularly at the current price of Sept Corn. Am I perhaps missing out on a good trade here?
