Like short gold.  Would think they trade in lockstep, maybe crude leading gold by 3 to 6 months.  Good luck.

Gold leads crude by about 3-6 months.

stay with the long oil, it will be a nice ride

I like your long gold

Oil is a mystery to me

Oil, on average, has cost me a lot of money over the yrs

One nite while I was sleeping oil cost me approx. 12,000.00. Forgot to put the stops in place plus I had a bunch of contracts

Sour taste ever since. Somebody else has my money

Now I don't trade oil

I also like your being willing to post trades

I am more into the in corn market

I got wacked in cotton years ago,my first huge loss! I wont go near it. It was a great lesson which led to my secret system. I like gold,corn beans. I take a chance in oil now and then!

back in the day,I traded lots of ten year notes!

Great to read you again pll!

Maybe the higher bean prices woke you up (-:


How much snow did you get? Doesn't look like much.


We got 2.1 inches here.


 How about you Mike? Looks like  most of the snow went north of you.

We just got rain before it got cold. They say 60 miles north of here they had 6 foot drifts in places  we got lucky on this one.

Wglass,


Now you don't trade oil?

I think the lesson was... now you put stop loss orders in the market.
