Just getting ready...

Indications just came in. Gap up to 60.75 (and the SPY indicated down about two points after Friday's close...). What a shocker.

The indications have ticked down twice so far, now at 59.50, up a tick from the close. But this is just a starting point, and it can explode from there, in either direction, on the open. I would 'guess' up. I just can't imagine down, despite how much it needs some down for a bit.

58.75 now. Down two ticks. No way!

59.25 now...

I'm ready for the pop on open...

Time to start rising off 54? That's a very good question.

Of course we all know I'd like some downside for awhile...

What the hell just happened to crude???

No news on blogs, nothing on ZH yet, nothing on Bloomberg, crude just dropped almost $5 in minutes, then bounced up around $2.65 in minutes. And Bloomberg isn't saying a single word. If they released from the strategic reserve (why would they do that???) it would be all over the news.

Crude just dropped again, taking back all that bounce up and setting a new low. And still I can't find any news of any kind anywhere. Crazy odd...

That was a nice finish in my opinion. Nice grind down all day. Get in, ride until close. Boring, but a good plan if one implemented it.
