Ask me what I am bullish about. The XEG.TO got a little life and moved back above the 40 week DMA. As a sign of encouragement, Crude oil broke out of it's trading range. That is helpful as a major commodity. In the USA you can look at XLE for the ~equivalent~ of the XEG.TO... Read More

Here we go again.Great stuff here in the commodity space. I'm getting more bullish after looking at some long term data and comparing it to the current charts. I still think the market needs a rest. The $VIX has been on the low side of the 20 EMA for almost 10 weeks now... Read More

The market of 1994 was particularly difiicult. It soared from the lows and created excellent rallies. Each rally was crushed and the 200 DMA flatlined. More importantly, What happened next? That was a picture of the first 8 months of 1994. The peak on the right was Sept 1 1994... Read More
