Dr. Frackenstein – Tales From The Oil Patch

from Financial Survival Network
Our weary petroleum engineer Dr. Frack returns with some interesting news. Seems like the oil industry has become too fixated on quarterly results and is ignoring some troubling safety issues. Not earthquakes in Oklahoma or gas coming out of your kitchen faucet. No we’re talking about H2S gas that has the potential to kill people. Dr. Frack is fed up with them cutting corners. We’re not talking about the inherent dangers of fracking, we’re talking about risky behaviors that companies engage in to save money. There’s a big difference.

Selling Hits Gold Late In Session; Miners Hit Hard

by Dan Norcini
Trader Dan Norcini
It did not take long for the longs in the gold mining sector to start a wave of profit taking. That came in when the mining indices could not extend their early-in-the-session gains. As a matter of fact, the opening print on many issues was the high for the day, or very near the high of the day. From that point forward, the shares drifted lower most of the session until they began to accelerate lower during the last hour of trading.
The result is a SHORT-TERM sell signal on the price chart although no major damage has been done to the uptrend at this point.

It has become clear that no price is too small to subsribe to Gartman’s newsletter and always, always, do the opposite.

From his July 10th letter to “clients”

SHARE PRICES AROUND THE WORLD HAVE MOVED HIGHER
following the release yesterday afternoon of the latest minutes from the FOMC which make it very clear that the Fed’s propensity to tighten monetary policy in the near future is near zero. We may have thought that the market was over-bought and due for a correction, but we are going back to being “pleasantly” long rather than market neutral for the Fed’s wind is at our back.

Precious Metals Miners The Beginning of the End !

news.goldseek.com / By Rambus / 10 July 2014

I think today’s price action marks a very important confirmation point in the precious metals stock indexes, at least for the intermediate to longer term outlook. Finally, after a year of chopping around in small up and down moves, we are starting to get some confirmation that this one year trading range is indeed a reversal pattern and not a consolidation pattern. When a big patterns like this ends is when you get the big impulse moves which is where you make the real money.

Soybean Chart Analysis

traderdannorcini.blogspot.com / Dan Norcini / 
Ever since that last USDA report, wherein the agency surprised the market with a big jump in planted acreage, the beans have been on the defensive. That report, plus the continuation of very good growing conditions changed the dynamic completely in the beans. Prior to the report, the focus of many traders was the continued tightness in old crop carryover. Simply put, the market was of a mind to ration demand so as not to run out of available bean supply prior to this year’s harvest. 

It was that old crop carryover tightness that had been the driving factor particularly in the July and to some extent, the August bean contracts. New crop November had been yanked, tugged, pulled and generally distorted by the buying in those former mentioned contracts.

Qihoo 360 Technology Co Ltd (NYSE: QIHU)

Qihoo 360 Technology Co. Ltd. provides Internet and mobile security products and services in the People’s Republic of China. Its core Internet security products include 360 Safe Guard, a solution for Internet security and system optimization; 360 Anti-Virus, an anti-virus application that uses multiple scan engines to protect user’s computers against various kinds of malware, as well as 360 Mobile Safe, a security program for the Google Android, Apple iOS, and Windows smartphone operating systems.
To review Qihoo’s stock, please take a look at the 1-year chart of QIHU (Qihoo 360 Technology Co. Ltd.) below with my added notations:

After selling off in March and April, QIHU has formed a trend line of support (purple) since its May bottom. Always remember that any (2) points can start a trend line, but it’s the 3rd test and beyond that confirm its relevance. As you can see, the market deems QIHU’s trendline to be very important. In addition, the stock also has a key level of support at $75 (green).

The Tale of the Tape: QIHU has a trend line support and a lower $75 support. A long position could be entered on a pullback down to the trendline, which currently sits near $92. A short position could be entered if QIHU were to break below the trendline with an expectation of a fall back down to $75.
