Crude looks poised to move higher but before committing capital we'd like to see the inventory report tomorrow. We feel that without any bearish developments the recent test of $75 could prove to be support. We're tracking bull call spreads in addition to selling puts and buying calls. In the ...

One bonus of the global recession is that it wiped a lot of incompetent hedge fund managers and energy speculators from the canyons of Wall Street. As the Gordon Gecko sycophants regroup and look for the next Big Thing, maximizing profit while minimizing risk, the landscape looks very different ...

Crude traded below the 50 day moving average for the first time since 10/9 today hitting our first objective of $76. If today's low holds in the coming sessions this could be a good beginning to a long scale, trade. At this point we cannot rule out a trade in the short run to $74 on the January ...

This week in Gold has provided yet another all-time high as the U.S Dollar continues to have difficulties sustaining or maintaining any momentum. The Dollars performance versus the Euro, poor economic reports and the worlds move into hard assets have helped to fuel this mammoth Gold and Silver ...

As we all live in the present, it is very hard to fully assess the future implications of decisions supported or made by political and business leaders. An extraordinary game of geo-strategy is under way to lock in long-term agreements, notably in the energy sector. At a global level, the ...

Treasuries crept higher after an early morning sell-off but the pace was much more subdued that has been in the previous few sessions. The inability of the bears to hold bonds and notes underwater seems to favor continued, yet moderate, gains in the near term.

Are you sold on gold? The precious metal outperformed every major equity index in the world in 2008. The question is, can gold--and other precious metals--keep on flying? Or would buying today be buying high and selling low?
Precious metals have always been intriguing to investors because ...
