Yours truly…read past blogs and commentaries MB Wealth has been saying the recent commodity move had over extended itself and Mr. Market delivered.

Natural gas still searching for a bottom; get long March futures with a stop below4.25. We will also be pricing out April calls soon. We would be a buyer of oil under $33 but have little interest in buliding a position yet…could be talked into trading a bounce from oversold levels. Trend remains down until [...]

Oil briefly traded at $47 today. We could still test $32 before everything is said and done but if equities rally early next week we could see a move to $50 next week. Natural gas has been lower 13 of the last 14 days. Picking a bottom is dangerous and usually costly but keep this [...]

Prices traded significantly higher in early dealings but with an afternoon comeback in the dollar prices retreated with silver giving back 45 cents and gold $13 as of this posting.
