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 [...]

Back to Work 1/17/12

Tuesday, January 17th, 2012

After a long weekend the markets are back to  normal trading hours. Crude will finish just shy of 2% higher but will not retake the 9 day MA; in March at $101.25. I have advised the sidelines thinking we remain in the $10 range and do no wish to establish a position being we started [...]

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 [...]

Commodity Grind 1/12/11

Thursday, January 12th, 2012

There were little to no big movers just the status qou. Crude turned down today trading down over 2% as of this post. If we see a settlement below $100 I will turn bearish. Next support is seen at $98 followed by $93 on the February contract. Natural gas gave up another 2% today taking [...]
