Why I’m Going to Avoid the Trailers for Super 8, and Why You Should Too

Posted on March 2, 2011 by | Leave a comment

There are few films I’m currently more excited about than Super 8 . J.J. Abrams’ ode to ’70s-era Spielberg, James Horner’s Cocoon soundtrack , and Coach Taylor seems — to these tired eyes — to be the one “must-see-now-please” film of the summer. Take your Thors and Captain Americas and cowboys and aliens; give me the mystery of Abrams and his lens flare. This excitement is why you can expect me to ignore every future trailer for Super 8 from here on out. And it’s why you probably should as well.

Oil to Natural Gas Ratio

Posted on March 29, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Hickey and Walters ( Bespoke ) submit: The ratio of oil to natural gas has really spiked again in recent months as oil has outperformed natural gas. (When the line is rising in the chart below, oil is outperforming natural gas, and vice versa for a declining line.) Last September, the ratio of oil to natural gas hit its highest level since at least 1995. After that peak, natural gas outperformed oil for a few months, but this trend reversed quickly once 2010 started. The average ratio since 1995 is 8.94, and it is currently more than twice that at 21.49. Complete Story

Today in Commodities: Closing the Curtain on Q1

Posted on March 29, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Matthew Bradbard submits: Yes folks, believe it or not Q1 is over this week. Crude is convincingly higher, closing above the 9 and 20 day MA for the first time in 8 days. We are abandoning all short strategies, as we said we would on a close above $82 in May. That is not to say we are getting long; we have advised clients to move to the sidelines. Buying was rejected in natural gas today with prices, as of this post, off their lows but 10 cents off their highs. We are almost at our threshold for pain on longs, so we most likely are close to turning around. New entries are advised to look at 50 cent call spreads in June; i.e.$4.00/4.50 or $4.25/4.75. Indices were all higher on the day but have yet to get above last Thursday’s highs. Whether we move higher or lower from here will likely be up to Friday’s NFP number. Complete Story
