Want to Hear a Great Commentary on the Markets?

Direct your browser to http://www.cnbc.com/id/27097823 and you'll hear some interesting predictions.

All the metals that we track were down today, except for Platinum, which was up.
One new signal for tomorrow: buy Cocoa. The record is 302 wins out of 379 trades, for 80%. Symbols: CCK10, and NIB. Be cautious with NIB. Yesterday, it only traded 1851 shares, a very low volume for an ETF. This means that one might have execution problems. The bid/ask spread is likely to be high as a percentage of the price.

  1. Wow. This is a very prescient analysis for someone to make on 10/10/2008. Too bad they did not listen to him. Although he was wrong about inflation; or at least he was 3 years early.
