Just did a quick Talk Your Book with Kimble Charting Solutions’ Chris Kimble. He’s shorting the Nikkei via the leveraged inverse ETF ticker $EWV and he lays out the rationale for the trade along with his risk parameters.

Enjoy!

Here’s my interview with The CME Group’s Chief Economist, Blu Putnam. We talked energy mostly and focused on the oil and gas production boom in the US as one driver of the recovery that does not get the attention it deserves – a great insight.

He thinks that recent higher oil prices are likely a sign that the economy is improving and that at least part of the move is demand related.

Took some minutes to chat w RGB President Jeff Grossman at the NYMEX this afternoon. This guy’s been trading ’em since before there was fossil fuels and he’s seen it all…

We talked the enduring Egypt risk premium in crude even as coup stories fade from the news cycle, the “anti-commodity” behavior of natural gas and this critical level in gasoline.

He’s a sharp guy… check it out:
