  4. Look up a seasonal chart for oil. Sept is a huge up month, followed by a deep selloff into mid-December.

    At current levels, it makes sense that equities would sell off hard on a significant leg higher for oil.

    I'm positioned for the same move, but shorting USDs as my preferred market in this instance.

    LOL I was thinking, if all 1,306,313,812 chinese bought a Hummer, maybe it would cover the 9,326,410 sq km land area of China then? :D

  6. Banks have been diverging from index strength for weeks, if not months, at this point.

    Oil is only part of the picture, look at NG/HO/etc

  8. Yield curve inversion looks much more likely now compared to just last week. I guess the whole market is looking at that as well?

  9. england and the US getting bad inflation numbers did not help either. england had a big jump in their reported numbers.

    i think more institutional houses are starting to feel the possibilities of an oil parabolic are near ----- time to hedge those long equities and rotate more equities defensive.

    I LOVE IT! Stocks went down on bad inflation numbers. Bonds rose on good inflation numbers. Don't you love the market?
