Rare Market Indicator Sighting: T2108 Over 90%

your 2nd paragraph tells the entire story, but as far as you are concerned, even if T2108 crosses above 90%, you will still be Bearish. You use the words "only time will tell" but those are your Emotions speaking.

You have an indicator, when it flashes a Buy signal are you going to ignore it? The next time it turns Bearish are you going to ignore it as well?

Either it works or it doesn't.

It doesn't pay to second Guess what has worked previously. Just an opinion.

The alteration of FASB 157 changes everything, Bank assets which were carried on the Books with a Zero valuation, will now have value. Earnings and Tangibles will increase dramatically across the board. And if the same adage still holds, "the Financials have to lead". Guess what, they are.

Liquefied Natural Gas: The Forgotten Energy Boom

The Nat gas Cartel is old news, Iran, Qatar and Russia formed their alliance earlier this year. They have as yet to make a price announcement.

I believe they Control some 60% of the World's NG production.

Its not a matter of IF, but rather when their consortium decides to step forward. They may wait until signs of World Economic growth starts to be felt.

When Europe started exploring for sources of nonRussian NG, Russia started looking for ways to remain in the "loop".

There's Still Plenty of Crude

What's the upward limit on the amount of Oil that can be Held in Inventory in the US, anyone know?

There's Still Plenty of Crude

So basically, the decreased projected worldwide needs are in line with current production.

Thats the news I was hoping to hear. No wonder oil is moving up.

The glimmerings of hope will give us $60 oil, before the dashing of same sends it back to $50 or below.

Later this year, the July/Aug time frame will see a dramatic increase in Chinese demand on a year to year basis. Beijing VS no Olympics. That's when I expect Oil to rally to $70.

Rising Oil Price Could Slow or Kill Economic Recovery

The consumer and economy chugged along quite well with $70-80 dollar oil, the swift rise to $147 is what killed it.

A rise back to those levels, will not be a surprise to consumers.

The dollar is about to crash. Against what currency?

Even the SDR proposals include the USD, If anything the inclusion will keep the USD strong.

The Yen is Down against the USD by about 15% in the last few months and is expected to continue to weaken.

The Dollar may weaken against Gold or as Risk Aversion subsides but otherwise...what currencies will contribute to the dollars demise?

As long as this economic malaise continues, the USD will remain strong due to risk aversion. If Europe were to show signs of recovery faster than our own...different story.

If China/far east recover first, won't matter, they aren't part of the Dollar Basket.

And, If the USA does start showing signs of recovery first, that will only strenghten the USD initially. Dollar weakness? Against what?

The Article is not relevant, the comments are.

You will find that I am responding to nonexistent statements. They existed long enough for me to respond.

Believe me when I say, the only reason I haven't forwarded your remarks regarding my opinions, is because you have included others into your response to me and because I give Fair Warning to Authors who consider themselves above the ToU.

You singled me out for your abuse.

Thursday Outlook: Stick Save

Spy will take out 880. When the Bull returns, all of the short term downtrend lines are broken.

But this is just a reality check for the New Bull market, a shot across the Bow to remind the Bears that they can be had.

Sell in May and Go away?

I still would expect another Bear punch down in May after the move above 880. (666 to 906, 50% or so correction or back below 800 but with the oct./nov lows holding). With the Financials closing Thursday's up gap.

The Bears will growl again.

Schlumpf: Pray tell on what?

If I had to make a Full Disclosure, I'd have to list some 50 stocks, ETFs, PFDs, Bonds, ADRs, Pink, Bulletin Board, Penny...etc. I'm not about to list or explain the reasons behind them.

Now, as far as sectors are concerned, there are so many. Unfortunately, everyone wants to hear the same thing about their particular "beloved" sector/stock/ETF. Whatever it is, its going Up. Right?

So I should: Obfuscate, distort facts, revise history, make false allegations or Tell the Truth from a Historical Perspective mixed with Charting/Fundamentals.

Since my purpose on SeekingAlpha is to try to get good investing Ideas, I will do my very best to get rid of those whose treat this site as some sort of Blog to Vent, Rant, scam, or otherwise lead astray the SA Readers who have come here in Good Faith. And let me tell you, when I succeed, It feels really, really good.

I get continuous thumbs down from friends of the Departed, its great to see the results of a Job well done.

So I can give you an Instablog if you wish, pick your Topic. I won't obfuscate/scam or tell you what you'd like to hear.

The Blog would be an opinion based on Common Sense if I did not know that much about it or it could be Factual or a mix, again depending on knowledge of same.

But after I accomodate your Request, you will have to do a Similar Post...judging from your previous comments, I know exactly what I'll ask for.

8 Reasons ETF Investors Go for the Gold

Go ahead, buy those GLD shares...

What are you going to get when you sell? That worthless currency, can you sell an oddlot? I don't know, doubtful.

Physical bullion or scrap? At least with scrap, I know it will appreciate as much, but I don't have to sell an oz. to get just what is needed.

And, currently I can get really great deals for these worthless dollars. Instead of a markup of 150%, markups of less than 20% can be had. (starting with 40 to 60% off, adding senior discount, Day discount, Bonus coupons, getting a store card etc)

Obama wouldn't dare confiscate SnoopDogs chains.

Warning: Financials Flashing Yellow

Arlin: 13-14 looks good for XLF, noticed something else. If it were to stall up there for a while, and then close Thursday's Up Gap.

That would potentially set up a larger version of what is taking place.

I was hoping for $20 on FAS, I guess I'll have to settle for $15-16.

8 Reasons ETF Investors Go for the Gold

You have to go around with a Poleaxe. What Part of the USD was on the Gold Standard during the between 1901 and 1971 is so hard to understand.

Gold was fixed to the USD. Gold did not fluctuate in price, $20.67 could get you an oz of gold until 1933.

In 1933, by Government Decree, $35 USD would get you 1 oz. of Gold. It stayed that way until 1971.

Whackawhacka. Look it up. Wiki it, its History.

There were no other adjustments.

Gold did Not fluctuate.

what the Heck, change history to suit yourselves.

Speculators Still Dominate the Gold and Commodities Markets

GATA/Silverseek=Jake Towne.

Jake is seeking the truth, can you help him?

Warning: Financials Flashing Yellow

Arlin: thanks for your XLF comment. Targets for FAS are hard to come by because its existence is so short.

If you had not decided to follow, I wouldn't have noticed the H&S bottom.

like I said, thanks.

BTW, I couldn't care less about Corn Ethanol's survival. As far as I'm concerned, its an Environmental Blight. I said so from the start.

But being who you are, you took it the way you wanted to. So if you want Facts, I'll drown you in facts.

BP alone has 160,000 Gas stations across the USA...Alone, By Itself, just in case you decide I'm being unclear.

Do NG pipelines extend to every station? Who is going to foot the cost of either building pipeline access or provide Delivery to them in addition to the normal Gasoline deliveries? New storage Tanks for the Transition along side? Believe me, the environmentalists will fight them tooth and nail.

The fact is that using NG will require the same Infrastructure build that the current system has.

How about high rise apartment complexes in all of the Major cities, where will they be able to fill up? Its not like there is space to be had in say, Manhattan.

You do not have a clue about the costs involved.

Oooooh, we could do... yeah right, fund it.

The only low cost solution is an all electric, where recharging stations could be built vertically without taking lots of space, like some suburbs of London are in the process of doing, multiple outlets connected to an already in place, Electric Grid. Build extra capacity with Wind/Solar, upgrade the entire Grid to handle the new drain.

Now all you would have to spend is at least $10k per new car to replace the current cars(another Low ball), family vehicles. A Trillion? what the heck keep it low.

Either solution, Trillions, a hybrid solution, all electrics for city driving only. Ditto Trillions. Time Frame? 10-20 Years minimum.

No single solution will work nationwide, working on all solutions simultaneously might help us survive the next Crunch. CNG is no panacea.

If the process had started 30 years ago, if, if, if.

It took Brazil 20 years to get where they are today. They had greater incentives.

This recession is the best of times to prepare for a Transition. What will actually occur this year?

Zip, as long as oil remains under $70...zip.
