This week may provide some trading opportunities for us if all goes well now that most traders and investors are all giddy about stocks again. Last week we saw money move out of bonds and into stocks and the bullishness vibe in the air reminds of many market peaks just before a 5%+ correction in stocks.

For the first time since the last week of December of 2011, the S&P 500 Index closed lower on the weekly chart. Recently I have been discussing the overbought nature of stocks based on a variety of indicators. However, the real question that should be asked is whether last week was just a short term event or if we see sustained selling in coming weeks.

Happy New Year, from everyone here at The Crude Oil Trader!

We hope this week's price action didn't catch you off guard? It was profitable but you really had to be on the ball to pocket the gains.....

Anyways, we just wanted to wish you a New Year and thank you for being part of my success in 2011 before it’s too late.

It’s that time of year again and I’m not talking about the holiday season...... What I am talking about is another major market correction which has been starting to unfold over the past couple weeks.
