But it doesn’t really matter. That’s

With yesterday’s The VIX and the Pre-FOMC + Post-FOMC Trades post in the books, it occurred to me that my reference to the series of interest rate hikes in 1994 probably stretches back before the memory banks of the current generation of investors.

We have BIG clues on this morning’s VIP chart for Crude Oil.  First, we can see the trading-range is very narrow coming out of overnight trading in London, which tells us to expect narrow price-action this morning.  We will buy the lows, sell the highs, and treat this market personality as range-bound early in the trading session, looking for the …

If you’re like me, you’ve probably wondered why nothing seems to change in Washington, D.C., no matter who’s elected to Congress or the Oval Office.

The 4-hour chart of Crude Oil shows us this big bullish price-channel with a projected high at 100.23 before we pull back and re-test the lows.  We can see there are only a few sell-zones above us acting as resistance standing in our way before we test the 100.0 big-round-number.   Look for easy profit-targets on …

The most frequently asked question I seem to get, no matter the time period, is “Larry, don’t you see hyperinflation for the U.S. in the years ahead?”
