No leaks in this crude oil market

Posted on by The INO.com Team

The massive move-up in crude oil on Monday created a new dynamic for this in-the-news market. The move to two-month highs completed one of our favorite major technical formations.

In this short video, I share with you two conflicting indicators and which one I am choosing to go with. I think you'll find this video technically interesting as well as educational.

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Whether it is the spill in the Gulf, which continues unabated, or talk on Capitol Hill, the subject is crude oil.

Today we received a signal by way of our weekly "Trade Triangle" to get long crude oil. In this new brief video, we show you the exact levels to keep your eye on and also where a logical stop would go for this position.

The last quarter of '09 proved to be the sweetest quarter for the year for a World Cup Portfolio. For the quarter, we had a dollar return of $16,041.75 before commissions, which is approximately a 32% return on capital. The World Cup Portfolio (WCP) needs $50,000 to run and is based on double margins for every market.
