The Local's Take: Afternoon Commentary

IBFX


Good Afternoon,
Since I last wrote, we have had the Fed, Bernanke's conference, Greece and unemployment claims. Lots to digest. I have been warning you of this for weeks - lots and lots of data to constantly digest and if the Fed is out of the picture, then economic data matters and the markets will react to it. I am not sure if the Fed is totally out of it, but at least they are in the background as of now regarding QE3.
Next up, we have earnings, durable goods and GDP and then a two busy weeks around the July 4th holiday.

You will like this segway. From FSLR and solar to oil! How do you like that. I like oil at 93 and I liked it even more at 90 - especially to get paid to be in it. Selling puts on USO doesn't feel good but the money in my pocket does!

Past performance is not indicative of future results.
Look for a week in review tomorrow.
Happy Trading and Be Environmentally Cool
