As you can see if you can see the scale, Uranium has moved up a little over 35% in two months and has been the place to be. Someone here (I don't remember who) was pounding the table about Uranium....congratulations.

Oil Servicing did well so I'm guessing with Uranium and oil servicing in my charts doing so well.....many energy companies and etfs did great.

Look who's getting beat up....below 1 on the chart means money was lost. Bonds and IRY for Reits (real estate). Now one of those might be the beat up market that will spring to life when general equities die? No promises but what this chart tells me is that it doesn't seem to have happened yet.

And in between are your broader equity markets moving along, making everyone generally happier. I know my buy and hold side of the house is quite happy.

Yes. A "1" is simply no change. Anything over is that percent up and anything below one is that percent down. If CCJ is up 1.36 That is a 36% gain. I suppose I should fart around with the formula so that we only see the gain. subtract one from it before charting.

I plug in a start date and can see the change sine that date. I have one set up for Year to date and one I try to have about a two month to date look.

The largest oil field in the world (and also by far ever discovered) is now in decline. Saudi production has peaked. The mainstream is not even discussing this but that doesn't mean it's not happenning. Most still believe SA will increase production to meet increasing world demand. I've tried to be as objective as possible when analyzing the data but I think we either reached peak crude oil in the past 12 months or are there right now. We will be increasingly reliant on NG/NG to liquids/coal/coal to liquids/nuclear and alternative. Buy the corrections in the energy sector and put together watch lists...

This is obviously bullish for molybdenum/uranium/other industrial metals and emerging alternative energy tech too.

OK, I've adjusted the formula. What you see on the side is to be read as percent. The intial "1" is gone. 35 for example is 35%. If you still see everything as 1.x you may need to refresh the browser on this page, you may have the old page in cache?

Near the bottom you can see three ETF's that are in the NEGATIVE percent (below zero). Performance is based on the funds growth or loss from it's starting base of two months ago.

Gold continues to fall today by the way so my buy stop did not hit. I'm wondering if we aren't seeing a larger correction here than just moving down to the bottom of the daily up trend channel.
