9/4 Links

How about this for red:

Here's a link to Dryship's market report on tanker rates:

The Baltic Dry Index is now 50% below the May/June high. Need more proof of a global slowdown?

Time to fade the rallies again and swing the short positions...which I should have done starting Tuesday.

OE, SOLD my XLF & Q Puts....nice profit. I'm probably early again but preservation of capital is king right now. Losing my ass on FXI, banking coin in XLU, still holding C puts (Oct.)-this one could literally implode, soon. Bought more UNG Oct Calls and took a sizable position in XTO Sep 50's @ .85. Hit'em Straight!

Thanks, Stewie!

Darwin, nice call on the puts. I joined you in UNG. Natty has held up pretty well the last 2 days. Good to take quick proifts. This market is nuts!

Will hold over the weekend...especially UNG, XTO, XOM...have you seen what's going on now on the weather channel...coincidence? I did by a few contracts (25) on X Sep 115 @ $4 earlier. Do we crash Monday or did we make an intermidiate term bottom? Win , lose, or draw, this is fun.

D, I think those are good holds. I should have paid closer attention and re-entered my energy positions this morning. Ike is huge and it hasn't even hit the gulf, yet. I like that play on X. It could easily make it back up to $125. Similar to my positions this morning, watch the 20-SMA on the 30-min chart. It may correct early Monday before continuing the uptrend.
