Crude oil erased the previous week’s losses adding 1.9% today but failed to close above $99 in March. I view that level as the pivot point so I remain bearish still. Be willing [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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.
