3 Commodity ETFs with High Probability of Near-Term Success

Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (CLNE)

11 Months After the Oil Bubble Burst

there is just massive ,masssive volume moving into UNG. Apparently someone thinks its a good buy. It is currently coming to the end of a price triange. Next week it WILL have to make its mind up and break one way or the other. Wait for the breakout. The chart and the price will tell you what to do. Everything else is just so much noise....... take this advice from somone who is finnaly getting to figure out this money game

3 Commodity ETFs with High Probability of Near-Term Success

I agree the fundermentals for natural gas are week. But how do you explain the absolutely massive volume moving into this ETF. Seems someone thinks its a buy!

Gas/Oil Ratio: Flashing an Extreme

the cure for a commodities low price is low commodity prices....

A Closer Look at the S&P 500's 200-DMA

Yes, don't get too excited, Its just going to touch it, go over the 200SMA for a short while and then head back down.

Has Natural Gas Hit Bottom?

I would wait for some recoconised techanical chart bottom patten to form befor going long in UNG. It would be nice to see it dip down again and make an recogisable inverted Head and Shoulders patten. That should be your way to enter into this position in a ligitimate way.

FAS/FAZ: Dangerously Crossing the Ultimate Pairs Trade

what a stooopid article. there I said it! Someone should stop super bad advice like this appreaing on this site. All 3x leveraged funs should be viewed as day trades only. As they decay over time for sure and will eventually all end up at 0. I think the extreem volitility is going out of the market now (could still trend down slowly though or sideways) This may be the end of an eara for the 3x funds anyway....

Don't Count on the Consumer for a Recovery

I fear that we are only at the half way point of this Great Recession. I the eye of the storm. Don't be fooled. All that the US econimy has been for about the last 10 years was just a series of bubbles inflated by cheep money (tech, housing, commodities). America needs a fundermental re-thinking of its econimy. When the country finnay emerges out of this in 2012 things look very different.

As Expected, Big Down Day Arrives

like the fib retracemetns on chart 3. A fib retracement of 38.2% = 741 on SnP

what a bunch of propogand hogwash, go wave you flag little man

Are U.S. Stocks Headed for a Sweet Spot?

Funny how his charts do not go back before 1949.... I guess the data from 1929 - 1947 would not look too hot. What could be on the cards is a world wide recession, depression for the use (thanks banks) and implosion for china! Dow 6000.

It is so risky right now and we are so far from the end of these sestemic economic problems that its just not worth trying to catch the bottom. Don't go long stocks in 2009! Trade stocks or just save your cash. Massive bargins will abound in many areas of investment before we are done with this mess.

Gold Poised to Move Higher

how about deflation for the usa and inflation for the rest of the world. In that situation gold would be a great investment on anything but dollar terms

Context is Everything: 7 Ways to Assess the Bigger Picture

Just another article designed to pursuade you to keep buying the market. But stocks are not cheap. They still have a high average P/E of 14 or more. Stocks are cheep when P/E drops to around 6 as they have done in the past. And that would put the Dow at around 4500. Sorry but that is when stocks are cheap. In my opinion the market is just way to risky to be bothered with it for a couple of years. If the dow did go to say 4000 I might be tempted to buy in. But even at 4000 it could still then drop to 2000 before it came back up for the long term. Really anything is possible with then worldwide financial mess. These are not ordinary times.
