Momentum Book Update

Dude, where’s my volatility… The market took the express train past the rally highs this week and provided yet another round of excellent swing trading to the long side.  While everyone was buying puts and inverse ETFs to protect profits from an organized pullback, the market marched higher, stopping them out one after another.  Are [ READ MORE ]

Turn Those Machines Back On!

Get those brokers back in here! I do trade commodities, but I’m sure as hell not an expert when it comes to the fundamental aspects of certain commodities markets.  Take for instance, the grains.  Would someone please explain to me WTF is going on, and why we just saw a massive dump over the past [ READ MORE ]
