Emini Futures Trading / Metals Up, Crude Up, Equities Down
February 22, 2011 at 9:30 PM Suddenly the world makes sense again if only for a minute..........
What goes up must come down!
Finally, the E-Mini S&P 500 had its dip or retracement. Muammar Gaddafi had been the leader of Libya since a coup in 1969. His power had endured 4 decades. When thinking of the ruler, one normally would note the anti-western policies. The unrest in Libya and the pressure on the US Government Officials to help the people of Libya have the market in a tailspin. The tanks, helicopters and war planes of Gaddafi were released on the demonstrators to squelch the protests. Senator John Kerry has been a voice against the treatment of the people of Libya and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton should make a statement today on the appalling violence. These tensions grew since the Reagan years. The delicate balance of alliances and adversaries are of extreme importance to the US as clearly any fracture could cause potential US involvement.
High unemployment and lackluster home sales can pressure the rate of the recovery. The market today has reflected the tired bull. Technical damage may be the game changer in terms of the week’s action. The market is subject to technical weakness and the CBOE Volatility Index rose accelerating the fear barometer.

Emini Futures Trading / Index Plummets While Metals Rally
February 21, 2011 at 8:35 PM Our Weekly Trading Zones are already cast in stone as they are every Sunday night. However, there's a good chance that we may be off this week like we've never been before. Geo-political tension is the engine that will drive Wall Street tomorrow. Unless we see a bounce on the London open, it's going to get drastically ugly. This has been a long time coming so if this really is it, hang on to your hat. However it plays out we'll talk you through it.
If you missed our friend Jason Hommel's article over the weekend, I encourage you to take a look.
Emini Futures Trading / SP Emini Posts New Multi-Year Highs
February 20, 2011 at 12:09 AM Quit Trying to Sell This Market!!!
Despite China raising there bank reserve requirement overnight and antigovernment demonstrations in the Middle East, the SP EMINI market posted new highs. The US market felt a little heat overnight when the Bank of China made the announcement but good earnings from Caterpillar (CAT) and other corporate news pushed the market higher. Today the volume was light with this move higher and the VIX is gradually growing. A higher VIX means the “fear gauge” is building up at these levels especially going into a 3 day weekend. Some commodities were BIG winners today Silver (31-year high) and Crude Oil. Weekly Trading Zones (WTZ) which are published for “members only” on Sunday night came in at 1340/1341 on the top end today and 1334/1335 on the bottom end.

Emini Futures Trading / SP Emini Reaches 1340 Weekly Zone
February 17, 2011 at 10:09 PM A Bullish Force to be reckoned with!
The E-Mini S&P 500 reached a high today of $1340.00 in the midst of a variety of adverse elements! It is amazing that the E-Mini S&P 500 could blow-off the two warships heading for the Suez Canal. The canal is owned and maintained by the Suez Canal Authority of the Arab Republic of Egypt. The market shrugged off protests in Iran, Yemen and Bahrain. The volume decreased slightly. The Initial Jobless Claims Report came in higher than anticipated increasing 25,000.
Emini Futures Trading / Mid-East Tension
February 16, 2011 at 10:16 PM E-Mini S&P 500-Tensions heat up in the Middle East!
The E-Mini S&P 500 reached a high today of $1336.00. The volume increased. Tensions between Israel and Iran started to heat up as Iran’s War Ships are en route to Syria. Israel’s Foreign Minister regarded the voyage of the two Iranian War Ships as “provocation” by Tehran. This is a news story that could affect the US to a great extreme as the alliance between Israel and the US is so strong. Hopefully
