Welcome to Research By Ritchie

Welcome to Research by Ritchie! My name is Kristin Ritchie, and I am a registered commodities broker and research analyst with New Frontier Capital Markets, LLC. I am passionate about working with diligent and unwavering people across the U.S. by supplementing their operations with in-depth market research, industry news, and tailored hedging strategies.

I begin writing market commentary for a major Texas Ag Lending Agency several years ago. I discovered that I have a real knack and passion for taking the overwhelming amount of data and numbers that are thrown at us every day and transforming it into an easy to read, comprehensive bi-monthly newsletter. The positive feedback that I received from readers prompted me to start Research by Ritchie. This website provides a direct link between the knowledge and experience that I can provide you and your email inbox.

Farming and ranching are inherently risky businesses. Understanding the marketplace and keeping up to date with USDA reports, or global news is likely not your primary job; however, it is mine. In my newsletters, you will not only learn about the underlying supply and demand fundamentals affecting your operation, but I will also provide a laymen’s perspective on macroeconomics, inputs, weather, and even technical analysis. Together, we can traverse and understand the multitude of factors affecting the marketplace and more importantly, your operation.

I always welcome feedback, new writing topics, and questions. Please feel free to give me a call!
