I'm watching the Ags, like MOS POT MON etc. Dunno if I've got the cajones to take a whack at them or not, but they are on the brink. Oil is a bit of a struggle for me to short. Still feels like trying to catch the turn as opposed to waiting for an established downtrend.

The shippers gave me the kind of setup I like. A solid break from a parabolic trend, followed by a clearly corrective upswing.

EDIT: and that should be a lesson to anyone (including me) that waits for corrections to establish positions in trending stocks. Following the late 2006 breakout at 25, there wasn't a single 38% correction until after it hit 120.

OIH - traced out a clean impulse off the top. I would not normally link here a chart in such a wiggly time frame, but this one, perhaps, deserves an exception. It may be an indication of what may happen in the larger scheme of things:
