Hi David,

I think there is a typo on page 25 (last paragraph):


Normal backwardation is when the when the futures price exceeds the expected future spot price.

From the top of the page, I understand that normal backwardation is when the futures price IS LESS THAN the expected future spot price.

Best regards,
