There is a lot of negative talk but at these levels every time the market looks washed out one should nibble on the long side and if the 63.80 (July) is taken out we could have a nice up move. I am trading more ER2 again these days. GC

On Wednesdays at 10AM ET the Inventory Report is out. Even if you were not interested in the numbers you may want to stand aside for the wild 5 minutes or so that usually follow. Also seasonals are important in Energy like in any commodity market. Look them up at...

I have Vista in a new Dell and it seems to be working fine. I had no problem installing TWS or running it. And BTW the latest build of Trade Station is working well too. GC
