Charts Courtesy of http://finance.yahoo.com/
Oil pared early losses after the Energy Information Administration reported that crude inventories fell 7.3 million barrels, gasoline inventories fell 2.7 million barrels, and distillates fell 1.1 million barrels, but it still ended lower on worries over a Chinese rate hike.
The U.S. dollar index fell slightly on poor housing data.
Treasuries fell as the Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P held steady on emerging support for Ireland from Britain and the EU.
Among the big names making news in the market today were GM and Target.
The Commentary:
“Welcome to the new face of trading in the 21rst century… the smaller investing public will be the ones who end up eventually getting a one way ticket to the door as they cannot hope to compete in this sort of arena unless they really and truly deeply understand the particular markets that they are trading.
One thing about these funds – they are generally clueless about the character and nature of the individual markets they trade and their mindless selling and buying creates opportunities for those who know their markets well enough to spot when this computer based selling or buying has pushed prices well beyond fair value and out of sync with the supply/demand picture for that particular commodity.
One has only to respect the hedge fund community for the enormous sums of money at the disposal of their trading machines and the severe price swings that can result from such sums being shoved into or yanked out of markets en masse. As far as respecting them for any intimate knowledge of the things that they trade – that is a joke. Most of them would not be able to tell you the difference between a wheat plant or a corn plant but they are in those markets jerking them all over the place on any given day.
For these people, it is all about chasing movement – nothing else matters.”- Dan Norcini, More at JSMineset.com
