Behind Door Number One

On some level we are all crude oil traders now. Like it or not, this morning's (seemingly daily) fade on the indices off a strong open dovetailed with crude oil flipping back red, as seen on the updated USO ETF daily chart, below. That is not to say that equities are doomed here. But it does mean that there is a de facto lid on top on this...

Isn't That Just Like a Pop?

Silver is leading an impressive opening pop in the precious complex, complete with gold and the miners participating early on. However, as the broad market remains on shaky footing everyone seems to be on pins and needles to see if yet another pop will fade in commodities. First and foremost, oil is still having issues holding green. Now, I am...

The Mini Ice Age Cometh

With this morning stronger-than-expected jobs report now behind us, we have a bit of an "ice age" for just under two weeks now. Earnings are more or less over with, as far as the big names are concerned, and we have a lull in major economic data/macro events until the CPI and FOMC beginning December 13th. With this in mind, it is critical for...

Don't You Hurt My Precious!

Equities as a whole are dealing with what seems like a daily fade this morning off the open, as the Dow, S&P, Nasdaq, and small caps are all soundly in the red as I write this.
