Oil and other Ramblings

    One of our watchlist oil related stocks had decent day - TDW but can't tell if it's trying to base here or making a bear flag. However, not touching anything oil related until crude firms up.

    Got to love Gartman on cnbc. Just 5 weeks ago when Brent Crude was at 101 he proclaimed it would never break $100. Peeked below $85 today - nice 15+% drop in 5 weeks. Not sure when I've ever seen him right on anything though, so not surprised.

    M had a good day, kind of my bellweather retail indicator, but it's the time of year for retailers, so may offer a relatively safe haven and be worth watching.

    TBT made new YTD low today. Not sure when we'll be able to buy it. Not a government in the world going to raise rates or cut off the spigot anytime soon. 10 year treasury futures haven't broken the 4 hour 9ema in 2 weeks. Marching relentlessly higher as TLT has been.

     

    Best Gartman joke I've heard

    Best Gartman joke I've heard is "I want to own things that if I drop them on my foot, I've spilled my drink."
