    Bullish on Crude Oil

    I dont see much advantage to USO. it doesnt track crude accurately enough and doesnt have much historical data. On top of that ever since it was launced it has not developed any support or resistence patterns. i think it is hard to trade.

    i think there is something more fundamental here rich. 1. Where is the trend? dont get ahead of yourself and try to find justification for your position. try to step back and simply ask..."what is it doing"? versus "i think it is overbought...let me try to find justification to back...

    Bullish on Crude Oil

    i think oil will stabalize between 50 and 60 for 2007. the downward momentum has ceased temporarily. I bought OIH at 128 today. any cold snap on the east coast should decrease supplies for the next few months and i would look for a 10%-15% tempoary pop to the upside if that occurs...

    GROW getting hammered

    it looks to me like a hedge fund unloaded a VERY large position on this. I am in at $51 long with 50.50 stop...incase the selling continues. It is sitting right at support and also a pretty strong fib line. I would not be long and stong...i have just a $55 target before i bail.

    Anyone short AXR?..looks like a great short

    now looking at fundies it is in really great shape as well. this is the type of stock that major instituions look to buy...and thus drive the price up. the only reason the price on this stock would drop over time would be if the market as a whole had a correction and dragged this down...
