IMO...most of the smart money still on the sidelines hence no volume. As far as the fall just now...price of oil and oil stocks drop? Take that away and the market tanks. No pun intended...Still no volume, in stocks or in bonds. Pogo Stick again...boing boing...yipe!
Crazy ass'd market dump.. was it because of Lowe's low numbers?
The reversal came after crude oil flirted with the intraday record it set on Friday, reaching a high of $127.77 a barrel before receding to a gain of 77 cents at $127.06. Gold futures were up $5.90 at $905.70 an ounce.
Still, the U.S. dollar remained strong, firming by 0.5% against the euro to $1.5510 while adding 0.2% against the yen to fetch 104.32.
80% "G", 10% "C", 10% "I" COB today. More out to the "G", seems Markets might have turned the corner to a leg down. I don't know what effect the FED's decision on the interest rates will have on the markets, but don't feel willing to chance it? Oil and Gas are killing us and the Govt. is just letting it happen. Seems to me that they want us to get used to Gas at $5.00 a gallon, then they can knock it down to $3.50 and people will think they got a DEAL!! There is a name for that scam, I can't remember what it's called, but I know how it goes.![]()
How are the pols going to "knock it down" without imposing price controls? Do you really expect them to do that?80% "G", 10% "C", 10% "I" COB today.

Sure, it's called a subsidy, or price supports. Otherwise known as a baaadddd idea in times of deficit since that means more government spending. Indirectly, it would help if we strengthened the dollar by borrowing less (or even better, stop borrowing) and not lowering interest rates (raising interest rates may put the market into a panic).Do you really think the USA would be successful imposing price controls on petroleum products when world demand is at record levels? Might be able to control US Oil, but OPEC?![]()
That's what I was referring to, US price controls. Can't control the rest of the world, no matter how hard the empire-builders try....."knock it down" ??? hell I don't know?/BUT,do you really think the USA would be successful imposing price controls on petroleum products when world demand is at record levels? Might be able to control US Oil, but OPEC?
