$Market Closer$ Fridays Open Could Be Lower

With oil closing the session at $126.62pb, the Dow tailed off of its highs to close up 52.19 points to 12646.72.

We think oil might bounce again off of its support at $125.50 and head North back up to $135pb.

Bernanke will be in the news tomorrow and his speech content also.

GM said that 19000 people took a buyout. At the same time, JP Morgan merges with Bear Stearns and 8000 people go unemployed.

Chris Plummer wrote a great piece on why you want $8 a gallon gas. It is a shame that it takes $8 to motivate the US on an energy policy or pushing technology in the right direction.

We are trading in a range and it looks like 1406 on the S&P is a difficult spot of resistance.

Tomorrow sure looks like a great day to selloff.

$Market LunchBox$ One Hour to Bernanke!

The Dow is up 113 points to 12,707. This looks like the perfect storm to see a sell off start with the Bernanke speech. His speech is in Switzerland and prob won't be covered live by CNBC or Bloomberg, the market might have a delayed reaction to the news. He is supposed to start speaking at 2:30pm EST.

We like the SKF, and although it looks like it might be a little early, the SKF(with the pressure of Lehman Brothers-LEH) in the industry, we think the SKF is headed higher.

Oil spiked on inventory short 8.8 million barrels. then headed South to test the support levels again. Currently oil is $127.06pb.


The VIX is down over 6% to 17.89.

If the selloff happens today and possibly tomorrow the we might be headed down to test the lows of 13500 on the Dow.

The GLD is down almost 2% currently.
