I responded to Cirrus regarding T-Bond trading...I haven't posted any futures trades because it didn't look like anyone was trading other than e-mini's. Is anyone trading anything else and would you be interested to list them in the future? MDW

Hi mdwllc,
I traded futures from 1982 until a couple years ago. Still watch bonds, stock indices, oil and natural gas constantly pursuant to my investments which are now almost all just boring old common stocks. Love to talk about it all.
Best,
Doug

Good luck with Ivanhow, Mdwllc. I hadn't even gazed at the darn thing for months. On a daily chart it looks to me like we may not yet be done with the move down of the past two weeks, but I certainly don't have a crystal ball.
Last week I was worried about oil and natural gas prices; they looked awful heavy, though energy stocks were holding up well. This week the sun is shining! Both Oil and NG look decent for Head and Shoulders bottoms being formed, though it's still iffy.
I see the Commercial futures traders have lightened up nicely on their NG shorts, but they've also gone over to the short side with Oil. I'd call it a wash. Energy stocks have been great this week, and the chart is king.
Best,
Doug
