Update on the Eastern Front
It is interesting to see the inability of the oil-centric Russia (RSX) to bounce today, even as crude rallies. Into next week, I reckon something has to give on that front, with Russia either on the brink of another sharp mov down or instead finally stages a snapback bounce. Regarding crude itself, though, on a standalone basis we can see...

Natural gas seems to be an interesting niche within the commodities complex, with strident perma-bulls and perms-bears alike chirping with each rally and swoon.

A Look at the Energy Complex
I took off the rest of an ERY long this morning inside Market Chess Subscription Services , as a way to play the short side of energy stocks (ERY is the triple-bearish version of the XLE, sector ETF). I may look to reenter the bearish bet after a weak bounce. As for crude itself, on the USO ETF daily chart, below, note that crude is now down...

Aspirational No More
Given the vast array of earnings blow-ups in the retail sector this reporting season, it seems as thigh the aspirational customer, meaning upper-middle class and more or less resorting to purchasing a modified group of luxury brands to sample the "baller" lifestyle, has been trading back down to a more humble line. Specifically, the likes of...
