    Hulbert on insider selling here -

    Hmmnn. That's just a ratio. :confused: By itself, it says NOTHING! :( I want to know what change in VOLUME of traded shares it took to achieve this ratio, and in what DIRECTION that volume moved. Otherwise, it's USELESS. If insider PURCHASES increased enough to lower the ratio, then...

    Coffee

    That's a lot better. You can actually see the action better, huh? I LOVE candlesticks, too. However, and I should have mentioned this in the last post, sometimes you just need to look at this stuff in simple OHLC bars to see what I was talking about. I already gave you my thoughts in the...

    Sugar-Long?

    Dunno what this means, but the ENTIRE SB market (ALL contracts) crossed over from backwardation on Oct. 31 and are now deeply into contango, and continue to expand this contango. Opposing signals here! 1. Bear spreads are all working, signalling that price should drop. 2. Market...

    Coffee

    You need to expand the y-axis on this chart to get a better VERTICAL look at its true action. Within the last two weeks, there have been a couple of interesting gaps in places that belie the actual price action. Additionally, there have been at least three large price-bar constructs during...

    Explosion in Saudi Arabia = Oil spike on open?

    clf08.nym, or CLF08.NYM Either way. This is for the Jan. contract, which, as of this past Monday, is now the FRONT month. If you don't want the Jan. contract, substitute the month you want for the "f" or "F" in the expression. --- Mike Collier Oak Harbor, WA

    Subprime crises "red herring"

    A.S., just one more thought: Preservation of current monetary denomination value (i.e., the Euro). You say your accounts are in the Euro and it looks like its topping out vs. USD. Swiss Franc is 30% Gold-backed, as opposed to EVERYONE ELSE in the world with 100% fiat-based currency...

    Explosion in Saudi Arabia = Oil spike on open?

    Woman in Chukhotka puts pork in husband's sandwich. Husband finds out, leaves refinery, kills wife. HEADLINE: Lost Production at Refinery CL flies up to $112!!! :D :D :D --- Mike Collier Oak Harbor, WA

    Subprime crises "red herring"

    A.S., I really enjoy the links you have been digging up about the various economic oddities going on almost unnoticed around the Globe. You are way more experienced in this stuff than I am. While I can't give you an iron-clad answer to your question, I do have a few thoughts, which you will...

    Subprime crises "red herring"

    If Bennett is right, it doesn't matter anyway. Credit card default is next and is just around the corner. So, don't be too quick to jump back into the financials. Looks to me like Bennett is a member of the PPT. :D --- Mike Collier Oak Harbor, WA

    Export ES data into excel

    WOW! Right you ARE!!! Sorry 'bout that. I re-checked MFGlobal's dailies vs. their 5-, 15- and 90-minute quotes. It DOES appear that they quote the daily ES price from around Midnight to Midnight, instead of what one would think of as during the "normal open outcry hours." I'm not sure...

    Export ES data into excel

    Try this: Go to MFGlobal's Custom charts: http://www.mfglobalfutures.com/resources/getquotes.cfm?page=ccharts You will see this: Once you have done all of this: 1. Open "Notepad" 2. Do "Edit/Paste" 3. Save and Close the new Notepad file as "esz07.csv" (NOT .txt!) anywhere...

    I need a seasonal chart for rough rice

    Hey si -- I got your PM but I can't PM you back. You need to go into "Your Account" and, if you desire, set your options to "yes" where it says "Enable Private Messaging?". In answer to your question about seasonal charts, I'm sorry to say that there are currently NO FREE sites to get these...

    Youngtrader's Commodity Journal

    I almost sh*t when you said you were putting on that trade in the first place -- there was no indication on the chart when it would turn around -- looked like a HUGE risk to me. So, the next day, after getting pounded, you smartly cut your loss. However, now, if you had just waited two...

    German GDP climbs 2.5% during third quarter; no export boost

    NAH! -- good work by the Gastarbeiter ("guest worker" -- most Germans won't do this type of work -- I lived there for 8 years and have first-hand knowledge of this ethic). However, please note that these ARE LEGAL RESIDENTS, as opposed to the illegal immigrants in the USA :D :D :D ---...

    I need a seasonal chart for rough rice

    Thanks for the heads up on Spectrum. FuturesBuzz is now subscription only, so I checked out ScarrTrading, which I found has now ALSO finally gone to subscription only. Additionally, I also found out that Scarr doesn't currently cover RR, but Time & Timing DOES! Maybe you need to consider a...
