In a word? Yes. Been thinking along those lines, in just the last day or two. No doubt others have come to the same conclusion. That being, although the lag time varies from cycle to cycle, major moves in commodities (not just oil) such as we've been seeing unfold for months... Message 29830752 often lead major moves in the stock market in the same direction. Only question in my mind, right now is can the boyz hold the broad stock averages up til their year end bonus' are finalized? Iso

Yes! Everyone (beside energy investors) seems to be euphoric about this drop in the price of oil and how much it will help the economy. But seems like the fall could be interpreted instead as a sign of a nasty global slow down. On the other hand, the commodity market has become totally financialized, so we could be seeing primarily a trading driven crash. Could go way farther than makes any sense based on the fundamentals. This could cause lot of financial chaos - bond defaults, bankruptcies, etc. Not necessarily bullish for the S&P.

A drop in oil prices is good for just about everyone and every company that isn't in the oil patch itself. So, while admittedly the market is somewhat overbought right now after recovering from the October swoon, I think that more market highs will be forthcoming, assuming that the incoming Congress doesn't do something stupid (which is of course always possible). FWIW.... Am I the only one guessing the Equity Market has seen the last of her Highs for some time ?
