Charts and News for Monday
Sorry this is late today, but it's a crazy day.
To expand on my comments from Friday a bit, the pullback in commodities continued last week. While we could see a rally this week, we have now seen both oil and the CCI Index break important support. I expect oil will pull back to test 121, maybe 110 and if we’re really lucky, 100 – that would be an incredible buying opportunity. Why? Because the long-term supply demand picture is tightening, and this pullback will give us a base for a potential explosive move higher.
Gold is holding up better than most commodities – I think that’s fear working into the market place, as fears of a global banking crisis mount and investors look for alternatives to paper currency.

By clustering solar cells around the edges of the specially prepared sheets of glass, the new method provides a unique alternative to expensive rooftop solar cells.
