it is the size of positions a person trades and the liquidity that give the nod to the es for some traders over the er2. if the er2 liquidity were to grow substantially then you would see more traders move over --- and then it would go flat like the es --- LOL! :)

long oil has been the best play of the year --- scale in and scale out, over and over. this play is not over with yet by any means --- not at all.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ as i stated we still do not have a clear picture of all the refineries damage and delays {this does not even include the off-shore platforms} --- and now oil and gas futures are pushing higher again. market gave a good college...

call of the week --- that was the pop to fade {you had a second chance today if you missed the first one}! when refineries are shut down oil goes up and uncertainty prevails. GDP concerns and Fed governors talking about inflation again -- and what is tomorrow, consumer confidence?

still no one could beat Terry Mcauliffe's Global Crossing play $100,000 to $18,000,000.00 --- nice trade pre-bankruptcy! http://www.drudgereport.com/mattgcc.htm

oil refining disruption and then HIGHER costs of oil/gasoline products ONLY need to be temporary to affect consumer confidence/CPI/PPI numbers. this will cause the perception {and/or reality} that the economy is in a worse situation --- when this happens you have the type of sentiment shifts...

any impact to the houston area oil refining infrastructure is not a "localized" event --- any disruption in the U.S. oil refining capability at this point keeps oil/gas prices high and that costs the entire U.S. economy. the CPI/PPI uptrend will be maintained by these type of additional oil...

Rita last satellite imagery loop shows turn to the west --- not good for Houston --- not good for the economy. Oil market tomorrow should be watched very closely as any big moves there will have the markets attention. now remember, the more news related trading affecting the market means...

looking good --- thanks! your charts color selection looks cool --- may have to make my daily chart those colors, unless of course you have a patent. :)

nice chart! good spot. :)

because it keeps working --- shorting the pops since the sentiment shift after the 12th of September, the oil price has held mid 60's or above, and the Fed announcement confirmed the inflation worries. in addition to this we have a new storm that has not hit yet and there is boatloads of...

currently 1210.75 and still grinding down to 1208 ---- getting closer now and the storm has not even hit yet.

shorted 1216 again --- now es new low ---- this is getting ugly

still short and still holding --- looking for at least 1208 es test by thursday/friday. flew over I-10 southwest of houston just 2 hours ago and it looked like a parking lot, also two nuke plants are being shutdown in texas from what I was just told near the region around houston. this storm...

mahram the fed raised because they have been in a "rate increase" environment {and nothing had changed that} and INFLATION worries -- the government has always been pissing away money by spending, that was not their reason for raising an additional .25 --- come on now. :)

the main reason i am looking at 1208 is that was the "Z" contract low of 08/30/05 {yes 08/29/05 had a lower low but that was a event related low}. now 1200 is just a psychological level so that would be tested if 1208 was broken in my opinion --- so yes there is plenty of additional downside...
