I have a sneaking suspicion that the market will grind higher today, looks like too many people are looking to fade this gap and its not selling off much.

The Fed and Treasury talk about inflation being just 2% sounds a lot like Snow and Paulson's strong dollar policy. What idiot believes what these clowns say? They are feeding the masses what they want, no one wants to hear that their dollars are getting debased on a daily basis.

The problem with central banks is they are still of the mind that in order for the economy to function properly, tons of liquidity is needed. The problem is that the rate of commodity/finished goods production is not keeping up with the rate of production of money. The end result is inflation...

Oil is now back above $98/barrel. Corn is pushing $5.30/bushel. Beans are over $14. Wheat over $10. Platinum over $2100/oz. Gold well over $900/oz. Sugar is back above .14. Coffee over $1.50 etc. etc. There is no way there is not going to be a lot of inflation. The Chinese will pass...

Looking at the commodity markets every day, am I the only one who thinks inflation is about to get totally out of control in the not too distant future? The Fed has always been behind the curve, especially when it comes to inflation throughout history. With the coming surge in inflation, I...

Weak market ahead of the 3 day weekend, options expiration Friday, similar price levels, weak financials. Are we looking at a repeat of the futures massacre? I know there is no Kerviel in this equation, but if we get a very weak gap open, only a Bennie 75 bp special will save this market.

My message was towards discretionary traders who have to deal with their emotions which usually impede success. Mechanical trading just needs an edge and a robust profitable system. I don't trade mechanically, because markets are d ynamic and one system that works well in one type of market...

It heartens me to see so many retail traders think that the road to riches is through hyperactive trading. People are still so shortsighted that it creates opportunity for people like me. I've been there done that. So have many others. Sure, if you want to try for a few K per day with...

For example, I am targeting a price range where I would go short stocks, and although I barely missed the entry last Friday, I'm not chasing, I am waiting for the market to suck in more longs before putting out shorts, and I know the longs will be sucked in if we get above 1400. I am waiting...

I would rather have the Japanese economy than Argentina economy anytime. Its not even close. The Japanese are filthy rich and the biggest whiners in the world. Their deflation was a huge boon for their trade surplus keeping the yen weaker than it should have with such low interest rates and...

Houses that were pumped up should be deflating. It was a bubble. It needs to be popped, not propped. That is one asset that became overinflated because of easy money policies, more easy money policies only causes inflation and makes the problem worse as its pushed out into the future...

Trade less. A lot less. Its that simple. The biggest problem that most traders make is taking profits too quickly. This leads to overtrading. Some market dunces have quaint sayings like " you never go broke taking a profit. " That is just bs. If you take profits too quickly, you will...

You guys are a bunch of idiots. Deflation is a red herring!! There is no deflation or even a remote chance of deflation. During a deflation, the dollar would be strong, not weak. Commodities would not be going through the roof. When the Fed is pumping out tons of liquidity, how can...

Bernanke is an inflationist. We will have the pleasure to pump $8 gas, drink $10 gallon of milk, and eat crappy $100 steaks in the future thanks to his money printing.

Just looking at the price action and the charts, its obvious that the smart money is to fade the rallies, or just outright short and wait it out for a few months. It is going to get worse before it gets better. There is still some goodwill from the Fed actions and people are not totally in...

No, when it reaches limit up or down, there just isn't any trading going on, but the trading session is still active, it can go to limit and get off it during the session.

The old crop wheat move hasn't peaked yet. Right now, may 08 isn't limit up but if you wait till the regular session, I am positive that it will be limit and people will be scrambling to get long. It is really amazing that a squeeze occurs this late in the old crop season but there just...

1250. There are too many bagholders in this market for it to lift without unloading the baggage at lower levels. I see lots of weak hands out there, especially the hedge funds who are not positioned well at the moment. They have no option but to sell as the market grinds lower. The...

The Fed is printing massive amounts of dollars. No wonder commodity prices don't go down. If it wasn't for all this massive money printing, Dow would already be under 10,000 and S&P below 1000. Right now, the best investments are in the industrial metal and energy futures. Ag is overdone...

From Briefing.com: Mar crude oil ($91.62 +3.51) continued yesterday's rally overnight and has extended higher at mid-session, breaking back above the $90 level. Crude began rising yesterday afternoon after Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A) reported pipeline damage would reduce Nigerian exports, and...
