Building on Strength 2/7/11
Metals, stocks and even foreign currencies continue to build on strength as 2012 has virtually been a one way trade...will this continue? 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 ...

Upbeat Expectations 2/3/12
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 coming weeks. What is d...
