Hot & Cold 7/22/10

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

Markets are hot and cold… up and down…bullish then bearish day to day. Until trends are established lighten up and adjust your trading size.

Traders NOT thirsty 7/21/10

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010

Traders are not drinking the Fed’s Kool-aid today. A surprise build in this week’s inventory report had energy bulls on their heels as it appears September Crude oil will close below the 50 day MA. We suggest moving to the sidelines in futures and lightening up on your bullish options exposure. With the dollar due for [...]

Let the Trade Work 7/19/10

What consumer confidence? 6/29/10

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

If investors are not interested/confident I am a seller. When August Crude took out $77.70; the 9 day MA mentioned yesterday buyers disappeared and as of this post prices are below the 20 day MA down 3.40% on the day.
