I agree. The factors you mention add to the unpredictability of energy. As you say, and for me, the uncertainty and unpredictability of many sectors is a reason to avoid them. If others see a rebound in commodity or energy prices, and they make a bet, good luck to them. If I miss the boat on a rebound, I will try not to kick myself for it.

Talk about unpredictability. I just clicked on the headlines.

Here are the six things you need to know before the opening bell rings in New York:

1. China halts trading: China halted stock trading on Monday after weak manufacturing data spooked investors and sent shares plummeting. The benchmark Shanghai Composite shed 6.9%, while the Shenzhen Composite lost more than 8%.

2. Futures dropping: U.S. stocks are set to drop after the first opening bell of the year.

4. Volatile oil: Oil futures are jumping up and down on Monday, after Saudi Arabia severed diplomatic ties with Iran.... Iran is eager to ramp up its oil output in 2016, as soon as economic sanctions are lifted.
