Where is the bottom in Crude?
I’m sure as a trader you’ve heard the expression, the “trend is your friend.” That was never more true than today as crude oil (NYMEX_CL) crashed to new lows and the stock market resumed its downward trend.
Today we are focusing on crude oil and the reason why it fell to new lows. We’re also going to be looking at all of the “Trade Triangle” signals that we have received on crude oil since last July. The video is about nine minutes long and I highly recommend you watch it, simply because it shows you just how powerful trends can be.
The video also shows you why price action is more important than fundamentals. If you have a few minutes, please take the time to watch the video and learn how the markets really work.
Since Barack Obama was named President elect, we can see how the markets have reacted at least in the short-term. Maybe not a reflection of Obama’s potential as a president, maybe a reality check for problems in the economy. Not even the record cut in interest rates by the UK could help the markets today.
Enjoy the video and please let us know if you’ve found it to be helpful and useful in your own trading plan.
Every success in life and in trading,

What the heck is going on with Gold?
Gold at the moment is perplexing to a great many traders. To many it was a shock when gold recently traded below the $700 an ounce level. So the question is, what happened to the $2,000 an ounce target that most gold bugs were calling for?
In this new released video, Adam explore that question and look at what he think will be this markets next move. You might find his analysis and conclusions rather surprising.
Enjoy the video!
Video proof of Crude Oil’s results
Adam from INO just finished a new educational trading video on crude oil. This short video shows you all the Q3 trading signals that took place in this market. The results have been nothing short of spectacular. With gains of over 20,750 per contract, I think you’ll understand why they are so excited about their “Trade Triangle” technology and this video. During the Q3 period they had six trades; four winners and two losers. The biggest gain was 13,160 a contract, while the biggest loss was 3,770.00. Q3 was a great quarter that produced fabulous results.
While their Q3 results were great, what is more impressive is their “Trade Triangle” approach has consistently produced positive gains for the past five quarters. With gains of 88,450.00 per contract over that last five quarters, you can see why they believe they have the perfect balanced approach to this market. That’s what they are most proud of.

Is Gold the Game Changer?
There’s no doubt about it, these are volatile times and that is reflected in the broad swings in all of the markets. One market that had a huge move today may have produced a game changer that you can make money on.
This is referring to a major commodity that has not acted like it would normally act in an economic crisis.
Supercharges your portfolio in less than 20 minutes
(Make sure you read all this because it contains a ‘blueprint’ that can have a DIRECT IMPACT on your portfolio.)
This is what I know so far…
The trading community is on the verge of an unprecedented ‘explosion’ of profit potential trading a group of funds that have largely remained ignored by ‘mainstream’ individuals…
but for over a decade, select ‘underground’ traders have been quietly siphoning this potential directly from these ‘under the radar’ markets… essentially padding their portfolios, year after year.
So if you have ANY interest in discovering how to get in on what’s being called a ‘portfolio supercharger’ while it’s still somewhat ‘quiet’, you’re in for a TREAT.
FOLLOW THE ‘BLUEPRINT’
The trader behind this consumer guide wrote it initially as a gift to his readers to thank them for helping him with a survey about the markets in question…
(about 100,000 traders were asked to participate)
But what was intended as a 10 or 15 page ‘thank you’ note turned into a 57-page ‘blueprint’ that effectively shows you how to join this ‘underground community’.
While these markets have been around for over a decade, they’re just now beginning to gain momentum, but they’re far from ‘popular’…
And not only are the top 20 questions about these markets answered in clear detail… but you’ll discover how you can use this information to breathe some much needed life into your portfolio, regardless of what you already trade.
LESS THAN 20 MINUTES
Find out how the author spends LESS THAN 20 minutes a day with TOTAL confidence in these markets, which leaves him the rest of the day to pursue other activities…
You’ll also learn:
- How you can get an unfair head start using these specialized trading strategies before the ‘mainstream’ catches on. Don’t worry, it’s entirely legal (page 54).
- How to doubl.e your profit potential with half the effort by harnessing a special kind of fund designed to pad your portfolio when the market tanks (page 11).
- How to finally let your IRA funnel profit potential out of bear runs. This little-known technique essentially lets your IRA flex its muscles for the first time ever as you trade it almost like a regular brokerage account (page 25).
- How to drastically reduce your ‘time in the trenches’ trading these potent markets by spending less than 20 minutes a day. These 3 discoveries make it all possible (page 38).
- How to use his 2-step ‘fast filter’ technique for quickly and efficiently finding the lowest risk & highest probability funds available. You effectively become your very own “selection service” (page 23).
- …plus, there’s a TON more you’ll get to sink your teeth into about these ‘ignored markets’ when you get the report.
SORRY - IT’S NOT FOR SALE
Even though he could probably sell thousands of copies of this report on the web, the author made a decision to give it away (for now, at least).
Why?
Frankly, he understands that there are a lot of hucksters out there who peddle worthless information, so he decided to make himself stand out from the crowd by giving away as much high- quality, actionable trading EDUCATION and CONTENT as possible.
That way, if you want to work with him more closely in the future, you already know what he’s made of (and without coughing up a single penny to find out).
I find that kind of attitude refreshing. Don’t you?

Is the move in Crude really over?
What a great move in crude oil today. It was enough for us to cover our short positions and bank almost $10,000 a contract in profits.
Watch this video and see how we did it.
Here’s the full AP story.
(AP:NEW YORK) Oil prices soared over $4 a barrel Wednesday, halting a dramatic two-week slide after a surprise drop in U.S. gasoline supplies fed speculation that record fuel prices aren’t keeping Americans off the roads.
But energy market analysts offered mixed views on whether prices would swing back toward record levels above $147 a barrel hit earlier this month or if Wednesday’s big rally was just a temporary bump.
Light, sweet crude for September delivery jumped $4.58 cents to settle at $126.77 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, after earlier rising as high as $127.39. It was crude’s biggest one-day rally since July 10, when prices ended $5.60 higher. Oil closed $2.54 lower on Tuesday at $122.19 a barrel.
The Energy Information Administration said in its weekly inve ntory report that U.S. gasoline supplies fell by 3.5 million barrels last week. Analysts surveyed by energy research firm Platts expected gas supplies to increase by 400,000 barrels. U.S. crude stockpiles also fell by 100,000 barrels last week, less than the 1.3 million barrels analysts had predicted.
The report gave some traders reasons to believe that crude’s slide was overblown and that the drop in gas supplies mean prices have fallen enough to nudge Americans back onto the roads.
“It’s stopping the bearish momentum that we’ve seen over the last few days,” Phil Flynn, analyst at Alaron Trading Corp. in Chicago, said of the surprise decline in gas supplies.
But some analysts raised questions whether U.S. fuel demand was picking up. Tom Kloza, publisher and chief oil analyst of Oil Price Information Service in Wall, N.J., doubted that Americans are actually driving more, saying a seasonal bump in gas demand probably drew down supplies temporarily.
“It’s nonsense to say that this proves that people are back to their old driving habits,” Kloza said. “There just wasn’t enough enthusiasm to push prices lower. ”
Crude’s jump was boosted by word that Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert will quit his post in September, an announcement that raised doubts about the future of U.S.-backed Middle East peace efforts in the oil-producing region.
Also supporting prices was a report by Goldman Sachs, which affirmed its earlier forecast that crude will hit $149 a barrel by the end of the year.
The investment bank called weakness in U.S. energy demand “transient rather than permanent,” saying the fundamentals of falling oil production and rising world energy consumption remain intact. Past forecasts for higher oil prices have caused jumps in prices as speculative buyers are drawn into the market.
Still, other analysts said oil’s recovery doesn’t mean prices are about to go higher again, but rather s hows that traders saw a short-term buying opportunity after Tuesday’s sell-off.
“I still expect to see further air being let out of this balloon,” said Stephen Schork, an analyst and trader in Villanova, Pa.
He noted that U.S. demand for energy is falling across most sectors. Inventories of distillates, which include heating oil and diesel, rose by 2.4 million barrels, more than the 1.8 million barrels expected, according to the EIA report.
And Americans continue to cut back on their driving to cope with almost $4-a-gallon pump prices. The average price of a regular gas fell 1.5 cents on Wednesday to $3.926, according to auto club AAA, the Oil Prices Information Service and Wright Express.
“We clearly have demand destruction,” Schork said.
Before Wednesday’s rebound, crude prices had dropped in seven of the last 10 sessions, and are down about 14 percent from their peak above $147 a barrel earlier this month. Prices remain about 60 per cent higher than at this time last year.
The dollar was stronger Wednesday against the euro, but the oil market seemed to be ignoring a trend that ordinarily would pressure prices. Investors buy commodities as a hedge against inflation and a weaker dollar but tend to sell when the American currency strengthens.
Oil also gained Tuesday’s announcement from Royal Dutch Shell PLC that it may not be able to fulfill some oil export contracts after Nigerian militants sabotaged a pipeline in the Niger Delta.
Militant attacks on Nigerian oil facilities have trimmed nearly one quarter of the country’s regular daily output. The strongest Nigerian militant group, the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, said it sabotaged two pipelines early Monday in the southern oil-producing region.
In other Nymex trading, heating oil futures rose 5.08 cents to settle at $3.5203 a gallon while gasoline prices gained 12.74 cents to settle at $3.1351 a gallon . Natural gas futures rose 11.8 cents to settle at $9.248 per 1,000 cubic feet.
In London, September Brent crude rose $3.34 cents at $126.05 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange.

What a difference a day makes. The DOW up 277 points, gold dropping 10 dollars and crude oil under pressure and falling to its lowest levels in three weeks.
Amazing.
What should traders do?
Several months ago MarketClub correctly forecasted the up move in crude oil and indicated that it could potentially topple world equity markets.
They were right.
So what happens now … is the move in crude over? Is the downward tailspin in equities over or is it just a pause before new lows?
Adam just finished two new trading videos that take a fresh look at crude oil and gold. I believe that these videos offer an unbiased educational view of two markets that are front and center right now.
If you are concerned about what’s going on in the world then you really need to watch these videos. There is no need to register, plus you will learn some valuable trading lessons.
