The market started the day pretty well, seeing some gap-up opens in the energy sector and oil services. We quickly cashed out our gains in DVN and NOV (both mentioned yesterday). The DVN trade was purchased about a week ago and rendered a +43% gain; the NOV trade gave us an overnight profit […]

The overall market was pretty flat all day. While techs and financials were down, commodity sectors were up. The oil services sector (OIH) was very strong and finally broke out! This weekend, in my Market Forecast, I said of OIH,
“…I think sooner or later this sector will break out. RIG, DO, […]
The market was very volatile today. It opened down, but, came up into the green, only to fade away and close in the red. Commodities were weak, as dollar saw strength. Gold traded below $870/ounce and oil dropped under $132/barrel. Steels and coals retreated as well.
The Dow ended up +9.44 points; […]
The market was mixed today with techs on the weak side. Energy stocks, agriculture, metals, and oil services were strong. AAPL unveiled its new 3G iPhone at $199, $200 cheaper than what’s out there right now:

The market opened higher today on favorable durable goods data. But, soon dropped into the red. However, after lunch, the commodities-related sectors seemed to gain more and more momentum. I, then, commented on the member board:

Yesterday, in my evening post, I said, “The market does still show bullish formations in the major indices. We’ll have to see how VIX deals with the $18 mark (now, a resistance). If VIX gets pushed back down toward $16, we could still see the market forming a new leg up.”
This morning, VIX tried […]

The stock market was up today, led by metals and mining. Energy stocks did well also, as crude closed above $124/barrel. (What did I say about trying to “rationalize” the market yesterday?) Gold seemed to be on its way back up, as GLD added +1.65%. Steel stocks were hot, again! […]

It opened lower with the unfavorable unemployment report, but managed to climb back and close in the green. The agriculture stocks were particularly strong. Steel stocks continued to charge […]

The Dow was down 48.53 points; SPX slid […]

Metals were strong again today. Oil jumped and related sectors showed strength. Select agriculture plays were […]
