Welcome home, Commods'...We missed you, life was not the same without you!.  We don't know how long you'll stay, but it sure felt good to have you guys come along and give this market the broader action it so sorely needs.   It feels like you might stick around a little longer, you have the great earnings to go with another catalyst or two, now.    We've concentrated the last 2 Journals on the spectacular numbers produced by the X, CF, WLT, MOS, so hopefully, we were all on the same page as soon as we saw the oil trend quickly change..a 6-7 dollar swing is nothing to sneeze at!.. Today, we also had MT confirm things are quite rosy looking ahead.    If we issue 3 alerts, 2 commodity related by 11am,  it's a clear indication we're not sitting on our hands.    The expectation for the Ag's-coals-steels and of course the energy shales to move to the upside is undeniable on days like this.  The Shadowlist is in tact, we haven't switched it to the banks or techs and so all it took was one look at the list if need be to decide what fits your account.  By this time, we all have a favorite or two coal, Ag, steel stock(s) to go to.  Simply, if we want a PCX, a JRCC might be more fitting to you.

Head-fake or not, we'll know soon enough if it was after the all the Economic data hits Friday.    But, one thing we saw today was there is such a thing as broad action.    Yes, the bad and ugly financials can move with the bad and ugly Oil in the same direction and take everything we traded in 2008 with it.   Broad based buying hit and it could be a clear sign of sentiment change.   We doubt this was a coincidence with all the Economic data due the next day, sometimes these things just have rhyme and reason.     If we get some serious bad news, we're going to know the last 2 days were nothing but a head-fake induced by 'big money' to bail on us on higher prices.
