If you have little or no exposure to commodities and want some diversification, don't see why not.

^^ Baller. I like your style Scribalicous.

Might be a tad early on financials, but I :heart: commodities for longer term inflation hedge.

I would be a buyer as soon as USO breaks to a column of X's but no sooner than that. The on-balance-volume also looks weak using a Sharp Chart and that adds to my concern on this one. With this economy the way it is the only thing I'm halfway excited about are plays like DXD at the moment.

Might be a tad early, true.... But I had an urge.

Maybe it was that poop I took.

All i'll say is if there is a bounce in financials, take your profit. If that bounce comes, charts say it will only be a correction and then back down we go.
