The Fibonacci Tool Fully Explained
If you are not already using the Fibonacci tool in your trading maybe you have heard of it. It is one of the most effective and simple tools to use in becoming a successful trader. And it is fully explained here in this video, it’s a technical tool that can make you rich.
You may have heard about Fibonacci, the man who discovered a set of numbers who that have a major affect on the market. So who is this Fibonacci fellow, and why are his findings so important in the market place?
The mathematical findings by this thirteenth century Italian man has yielded a useful technical analysis tool which is used in technical analysis and by scientists in a large array of fields. Born Leonardo of Piza, he is better known in the trading community as Fibonacci. Fibonacci’s best known work is Liber Abaci which is generally credited as having introduced the Arabic number system which we use today.
Fibonacci introduced a number sequence in Liber Abaci which is said to be a reflection of human nature. The series is as follows: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144 and on to infinity. The series is derived by adding each number to the previous. For example, 1+1=2 , 2+1=3, 3+2=5, 5+3=8, 8+5=13, and so on.
We use the Fibonacci series mainly for retracements (see today’s video) and to show us where support and resistance might come into the market. We also use this tool to enter or add onto a position.
In this video we show you these exact retracements and how they affected the market at that time.

Oil, Gasoline Surge as Second Quarter U.S. GDP Tops Projections
Crude oil rose to a one month high and gasoline surged after a report that the U.S. gross domestic product shrank less than estimated bolstered speculation that the economy is recovering from the recession. Oil climbed 3.7 percent after the Commerce Department said that GDP fell at a 1 percent annual pace during the April through June period. The U.S. economy was forecast to shrink at a 1.5 percent pace, according to the median estimate of 78 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News. Prices also gained because of a drop in the dollar against the euro.....Complete Story

Can Exxon Find Future Growth?
ExxonMobil, suffering like the rest of its Big Oil peers from lower oil and natural gas prices, reported plunging earnings this morning. Net income for the second quarter came in at $3.95 billion, a 62% drop over the same quarter last year. At 81 cents a share, Exxon's results undershot analyst expectations. Yet shareholders received their usual largesse from Exxon: $7 billion in dividends and stock buybacks even while the company suffered a 4% decline in oil and gas production to a current 3.7 million barrels a day.....Complete Story

Pemex Output Goal ‘Uphill Battle,’ Forces Borrowing
Petroleos Mexicanos, Latin America’s largest oil company, is likely to miss its 2009 output goal even after lowering its production forecast, forcing the company to seek other sources of financing to pay for its largest ever capital spending plan. Pemex, which hasn’t increased production in 3 years, needs to raise output by at least 1.6 percent in the final six months of 2009 to reach a goal of 2.65 million barrels a day, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Mexico City based Pemex lowered its forecast yesterday on an earnings conference call.....Complete Story

Chevron Profits Tumble 71 pct Because of Cheap Oil
Chevron Corp. says its second quarter profit fell 71 percent as demand for crude oil and gasoline plunged. Chevron, the second largest U.S. oil company, said Friday its net income amounted to $1.75 billion, or 87 cents per share, for the three-month period that ended June 30.

Oil Drops After Data Shows U.S. Recession Worse Than Estimated
Crude oil fell, heading for its first monthly decline since January, after revisions to U.S. data showed the economy shrank more than estimated in the recession. Oil is set for its first weekly decline in three weeks after a surprise 5.15 million barrel jump in U.S. crude inventories was reported by the Energy Department. Japan, the world’s third largest oil consumer, said crude imports plunged for a ninth consecutive month in June. “The low $70s has become the ceiling for oil prices, as at this point they begin to weigh on equity markets,” Christopher Bellew, senior broker at Bache Commodities Ltd. in London.....Complete Story

Oil Surges Close to $67 a Barrel in Volatile Week
Oil prices surged above $66 a barrel Thursday, rising in lockstep with major global indexes in what has become a very volatile week for energy markets. With regulators meeting in Washington to consider new limits on speculators that some blame for wild swings in oil and gas prices, crude fell 6 percent Wednesday only to rebound by almost that much Thursday. Benchmark crude for September delivery rose $3.59, or 5.6 percent, to settle at $66.94 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Oil and Gasoline Surge as Corporate Earnings Boost Confidence
Crude oil rose more than $3 a barrel and gasoline surged the most in four months after better than expected corporate earnings and as jobless claims held below late June levels. Oil gained as much as 4.9 percent as stocks advanced on increased optimism that the economic decline will ease. The number of people collecting unemployment insurance decreased for a third week, according to the Labor Department. A U.S. report yesterday showed that crude supplies unexpectedly climbed as demand lagged behind year earlier levels. “More people think the economy has bottomed and are buying equities and commodities as a result”.....Complete Story

Cushing Oil Storage Rate Causing Energy Worries
There may be millions of reasons for Oklahomans to be concerned about the glut of crude oil being stored in Cushing. Some in the state’s oil and natural gas industry insist an influx of oil from Canada has affected the market at Cushing, where the New York Mercantile Exchange sets its prices. Enid oilman Harold Hamm said he is concerned that Cushing’s vast oil storage could decimate the market, much as the storage level did about 15 years ago in Wyoming under similar circumstances. He said prices there dipped as far as $24 a barrel below market price when new pipelines brought in as many as 235,000 barrels of Canadian crude oil a day.....Complete Story

Daily Oil Prices with Anna Coulling
Daily oil prices reacted badly to yesterday's reported crude stock build of more than 5m barrels, not entirely unexpected given Tuesday's bearish API numbers, with crude prices touching a low of $62.70 per barrel before ending the day at $62.96 per barrel. As usual this dramatic fall was aided and abetted by a consequent strengthening of the US Dollar and, with the exception of the Shanghai composite, most equity markets did manage to hold onto their recent gains.....Complete Story

Crude Oil Higher on U.S. Dollar Sell Off Overnight
Crude oil was higher overnight as the U.S. Dollar is lower on profit taking. However, stochastics and the RSI for the dollar is bullish signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible near term. Oil also was higher due to short covering overnight as it consolidates some of Wednesday's decline but remains below the 20 day moving average crossing at 64.23. Stochastics and the RSI are turning bearish signaling that sideways to lower prices are possible near term.
If September extends Wednesday's decline, this month's low crossing at 59.30 is the next downside target. Closes above the 10 day moving average crossing at 65.91 would temper the near term bearish outlook in the market.

Goldman Says Curbing Speculators May Disrupt Markets
Goldman Sachs Group Inc., the bank that makes the most money from commodities, fixed-income and currency trading, said attempts to curb speculation may be “disruptive” to energy markets. “The role that is played by non traditional participants such as index investors and other financial participants often has been mischaracterized,” Don Casturo, a Goldman Sachs managing director, said today at a Commodity Futures Trading Commission hearing in Washington. The testimony was part of the second day of hearings on excessive market speculation and how to respond......Complete Story

Investors Focus On Exxon, Unemployment
Perhaps the biggest earnings announcement Thursday will come from oil giant Exxon Mobil and investors want to know how energy companies are deploying their money in a time of wildly volatile oil prices. So far it's been a rocky earnings season for oil firms. Last year oil was at $125 a barrel around this time, twice what it is today. On Wednesday Hess and ConocoPhillips both posted steep drops in quarterly profits. Analysts expect Exxon to announce earnings of $1.02 a share before the bell Thursday, down from $2.27 last year.....Complete Story

New Video: What Happened to the Gold Market
I think it came as a big surprise to many traders that the gold market imploded on Tuesday pushing to its lowest levels in several days.
The downward spiral was enough to trigger a daily “Trade Triangle” which moved us into the neutral camp on this market. Exiting our long gold position based on our “Trade Triangle” signals produced a very small profit or in some cases of break even trade.
So the question is: Is the sharp downward move in gold over?
In our new video we answer that question and share with you some levels we think gold will go to on the downside. We also share with you that we could be setting up for an excellent buying opportunity, if and when our “Trade Triangles” are aligned.
Before you trade gold watch the video and please leave a comment letting us know where you think gold is headed.
