Crude Oil Top Not in, Still Opportunities for Bulls
Worries about inflation are heating up. Investors have been looking for inflation hedges and turning to commodities. A lot of that interest is directed at the energy markets, sending crude oil to new highs for the year at just above $70 a barrel. This market could be knocking at the door of last year’s record highs if some of the inflation forecasts prove correct. Natural gas has been lagging, but to me, looks like it could be forming a bottom. (more)
Shorter-term T-notes' yield soars on fears of Federal Reserve rate hike
Investors continued to bail out of Treasury securities Monday, particularly the shorter-term issues that Wall Street tends to regard as relatively safe plays.
But they aren't safe when the market begins to believe that the Federal Reserve will start tightening credit -- which is the way more bond traders suddenly are leaning.
The yield on the two-year T-note soared to 1.39%, up from 1.3% on Friday and 0.94% on Thursday. That's a massive move in the space of two trading sessions. (more)
Harley davidson: Buy/Sell/Hold?
Harley-Davidson, Inc. (HOG) has endured some very bitter comments from analysts in the past couple of trading sessions. On Friday it was a downgrade to “Sell” from a Citigroup (C) analyst that sent shares tumbling 7% on the day.

However, in contrast to the sell-off instigated by the Citi analyst, today the stock fell close to 10% in the morning and then battled back throughout the day to end nearly even for the trading session. The fact that HOG shares rebounded so strongly could be a signal that the bulls are taking control and the shares will be resilient to further weakness. (more)

Get out of debt - NOW. Revolving debt in particular is murderous. If your credit line hasn't been cut back or your interest rate jacked, you're one of the few. It will happen. Going bankrupt due to increasing debt service requirements (with or without job loss) sucks. (more)

High Risk In Entering Equities -Marc Faber
Marc Faber was interviewed this morning by the Asian TV CNBC-TV18. Marc Faber sees a high risk in entering equities now and is quoting as saying..
“This is not a good time to enter equities, except for traders.”
Marc Faber also believes that commodities are also about to top out. This comes at a time when many resource stocks have more than doubled from the November and March lows and some have even tripled. Thus, Dr. Faber believes that it is not an very attractive entry point to buy commodities and commodity-related stocks. (more)
