Morning Energy Blog – November 6, 2014

Morning Energy Blog – October 23, 2014

Good Morning. Yesterday was the antithesis of Tuesday. A bad day. A very bad day. The S&P 500 traded up to the level I mentioned in my Report on Tuesday, 1,949 (technically I said 1,930 to 1,943 but most definitely close enough), and failed. We actually traded marginally higher in the morning, as high as […]

Morning Energy Report – October 10, 2014

Good morning. On Wednesday we saw a light at the end of the tunnel and believed it was the Fed holding it. It turned out not be the Fed but a train. Wham! We got run over. Serious damage. Carnage. Triage applied. No survivors with the Dow losing the most points it has in a […]

Good morning. I apologize for the delay in today’s report. I have been on conference calls since I walked in the office this morning. Consequently, today’s report will be briefer than normal (which may be to your delight!). Equities hung in there yesterday with the Dow closing down 4 to 16,802, the S&P 500 closed […]
