Good Morning Just wanted to add a quick clarification to my remarks yesterday. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with swing trading this instrument or anything else for that matter. I did say, and do feel, that it has been harder to accurately pick the right direction for a swing trade on this the last short while due to all of the conflicting factors driving this. Obviously a swing trade long would have worked great a couple of weeks ago. And it's obviously pulled back today and a bit yesterday, most likely due to oversupply in Oklahoma. Where is it headed next? I have no clue. But if someone here thinks they know, and we do see people taking sides, then go for it. The main point I was trying to make all along here was, if you do swing trade it, make sure you're on the right side of the trade. I wouldn't try averaging into a losing position. In this environment that can be very costly as all of the factors driving this can and do seem to change very rapidly. ADD I do feel it can be advantageous to hold positions longer, which I talked about quite a bit before in this thread. Just make sure you're on the right side of the trade. If this takes a number of scratch trades so be it. Commissions in this regard are chump change.
