Why do you ask ?

OK, you got your 3 pennies with March '14 hitting $3.33 for the high. Of course, this news out of Asia propelled the metal upward (or did it just generate more short covering ?)...

Yeah...anymore 3 pennies is a big move.....LOL :D What a lousy, listless market this has become.

Thanks for the comment, but uh.....I could not determine if it was bullish or bearish. What do you mean by "break" ? Break-up ?

2 weeks ago Gartman was bullish on Copper and Steel. They're going nowhere unless inflation takes off. If you act on his recs, be ready to reverse at any time.

Keith Fitchen's backtesting showed that countertrend trading works well on intraday time-frames. In other words, daytrading trends is a losing game.

Gold teetering on the brink at the $1200 level. The red metal down a few cents this morning. So much for the reflationary theme. I knew that was stupid after a Bloomberg article entitled "paying more with less": Last 5 years: Median Income ..........down 7% College Tuition/Fees...up 28%...

Let's see: Equities up huge today - CHECK Housing starts now looking great - CHECK Copper cannot even budge upward - WTF ???? It's like "Mr. Bill" squeaking: "Help me, help me...I'm weak"

Here is another Dennis Gartman-like appraisal of the copper market: http://www.marketwatch.com/story/forget-the-taper-focus-on-copper-2013-12-16 No question it could happen, but its going to take a lot of inflation for that scenario to pan-out. Given the tenuous job market and lack of wage...

Interesting Report: http://www.cmegroup.com/education/files/copper-gearing-up-for-rebound-in-2014.pdf Note what happens when inventory levels rise. Recently inventory levels have decreased, but note how soft the price as become....relatively speaking. In the past, such a decrease would have...

I'm always early to the party it seems.:D I was shorting IWM back in 2007 before the big swoon. Seems were are in a similar period now. Copper is now in a fairly profound CONTANGO (sorry, not backwardation....that's normal). December delivery is up 2.5 cents while March is only up a penny...

Where's the "jessica's" ? Jessica Alba Jessica Biel 2 outstandingly beautiful women IMHO.

The insanity continues with the spot month (Dec'13) hitting $3.35 today. This so much feels like a short squeeze.

EIA report out recently shows lower demand estimates..... and the market is already in a steep backwardation. It's made a heckuva run since November....with no significant pullbacks.

http://www.marketwatch.com/story/global-economys-recovery-is-a-sheep-in-wolfs-clothing-2013-12-12?pagenumber=1 A stupendous article....take "that" Dennis Gartman. Anyone see a bright future economically here ?

One would think that equity markets might also be correlation factor for copper. THINK AGAIN. Over the past few days equities are down, but copper is holding it's own. March contract hit $3.31 this morning.

Morning Copper Market Report Wed 11 Dec 2013 07:29:35 CT Not surprisingly, the copper market continued to rise yesterday and in the process the March contract reached up to the highest level since December 3rd. Part of the gains in copper came from favorable currency market action and some...

Dennis Gartmann on Fast Money last night: bullish on steel and copper saying economies of the world should continue to recover. Wait a minute Dennis...isn't this so-called recovery going into it's 7th year now ? That's already a long time. At this point, I'd say anything in the way of a...

In that data stream, over what time interval is the VWAP computed ?

I'd like to know: 1) What factors / attributes are considered in the process of selecting a pair ? 2) How to compute the reduction in risk vs. outrights ? 3) How can options play a role in pair trading ?
