Sure oil could go up and the whole market could crash... but this is what IMHO capitulation looks like...
Could be Wrong....
Financial history doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes. You can't be stupid enough to trade off anything I say.... I'm lucky they let me out of the straight-jacket long enough to trade.

Kirk report is putting credence in the "window dressing" thesis for the end of the month.
This would explain the dump KRE is taking, but I'm not sure I buy it since this really is not the end of the quarter.
Banks are mired; they're toxic. Period. Nobody wants to touch them. So maybe it is time to buy! Blood in the streets.
.... I have a tough time... In this market, up till that past month, I would have touched Transports or materials.... but now those seem like a mistake...they are looking more like trades... transports last week had P/Es of 30-40.. and that would be ok if they had 2x growth... But it's a bit hot.
The Euro has 1.5 written all over it....
Seems more and more "To Me" that the only thing to own are the most beaten down things... And they are tradable intraday with 1% moves.
Home-builders are going to '0' Retail has yet to feel the real pain.
Opec has realize that demand destruction of this magnitude would be bad, and will force us away from gas... and though they are running out of it, worse thing would be to sit on Trillions of dollars of worthless black slimy shit.
and "window breaking" as they force the things they want to own for the next 2 years down. Huge volume in all the Regionals I track.
I even bought Calls today.
As I closed my book today, and realized I was heavier cash in a sort of capitulative personal move... tells me it could be the bottom of them... but some of the Ibanks report next week.
It is getting Exhausting Trading in and out of things....
Another thing, oil only did a 50% retrace, which is a standard move in an oversold decline.... except financials.....LOL.....
What is hard, and why I don't post what I'm doing, is that I do things and react so fast to things, that it's impossible to trade with me sometimes...
Another thing.... When the trading Gets hard.... When it's ugly and you are trading in and out of things like mad..... it shows a Reversal is likely.
Um... sorry, I'm just venting after a long day.... I don't get why people what shit like Homebuilders, or retail, or Airlines for hells sake... that all get 2-3% pops in the past 2 weeks.
What I'm getting at is that "oil was up" but not to a higher high." Just silly that stocks are now trading flat on oil declines, and down on it going up....
but Like I say, buy oil on the dip has worked for 4 years... hard to see it break.
