Upbeat Expectations 2/3/12

Friday, February 3rd, 2012

A positive jobs number and things heating up in Iran and Crude is back on the move advancing 1.5% today. We may see a bounce but until we see a trade back over $99 I still am thinking prices have more downward pressure. My target in March is  a trade closer to $93-94 in the [...]

If Equities Fall 1/30/12

Monday, January 30th, 2012

Over the next few sessions we will know but we may see some gains given back in equities as minor chart damage is being done. That being said expect higher trade in Treasuries and commodities on a stock retraction. Crude continues to flirt with $100 unable to pick a direction. The longer this consolidation pattern [...]

Taking a Breath 1/25/12

Wednesday, January 25th, 2012

I misread the recent action thinking we were approaching a turning point but now it appear the markets were just taking a breath and now the underlying moves are back on track….trade accordingly. Crude appears to be finding its footing as further sales are being rejected. With a settlement back above $100 I would become [...]

Turning Point 1/24/12

Tuesday, January 24th, 2012

Turing point…not today and probably not tomorrow but I would expect the equity market to give back its recent gains in the very near future. What that likely means is money out of stocks and into Treasuries and commodities…just an opinion. Crude remains in no man’s land as prices could go either way in my [...]

A Straight Line… 1/19/12

Thursday, January 19th, 2012

Nothing included markets move in a straight line…stocks will not move higher in a  straight line nor will natural gas move lower…all things must come to an end. I am still in a holding pattern waiting for direction in Crude oil. We’re still experiencing a tug of war in the distillates as RBOB was lower [...]

Tortoise or Hare 1/18/12

Wednesday, January 18th, 2012

Every investor has a different strategy but slow and steady sometime wins the race. The idea is to be consistent and take small losses and let profits run…easier said than done. For three weeks now Crude has been stuck in a $5 trading range and this looks to continue. Today prices reversed mid-day to close [...]

Friday the 13th 1/13/12

Friday, January 13th, 2012

The day is not over but I have not had any strange things happen to me that are typical of this date. I’ll let you know next week if I made it the whole day. Crude failed to make a new high this week closing roughly $5  from its highs. Prices failed at the same [...]
