Prepare for NFP 2/2/12

Thursday, February 2nd, 2012

I think the number is fabricated but nonetheless it is market mover so prepare for tomorrow’s jobs number. As of this post Crude is lower by 1% about in the middle of today’s range trading lower for the seventh consecutive day. I think we see an additional $3-4 retracement before we run into serious support. [...]

The January Effect 1/31/12

Tuesday, January 31st, 2012

With one month under our belt how is your 2012 looking? RBOB, OJ, stocks, feeder cattle and all the metals were the upside movers in the month of January while natural gas was the only negative standout. Will these moves set the tone for trading in 2012? The move lower has been minor but Crude [...]

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 [...]

Looking Ahead 1/23/12

Monday, January 23rd, 2012

Fed meeting this week as well as any new developments out of Europe. My suggestion is to always look one-two weeks in advance for upcoming economic events when initiating trades. Just when it appears Crude was destined to move lower prices reversed finishing 1.65% higher today. $1oo appears to be a magnet for pricing and [...]

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 [...]
