>>>It's all about putting a big picture together. We talk about watching the NYSE BP for the main direction in the market, but keeping an eye on a grouping of indicators such as the bonds, gives you a clue as to where the market will be headed. If the banks and interest rate sectors start to break down (which they have) and the bond indicators turn bearish - your thought has to be that interest rates may rise and therefore, the market does what????<<< How would oil fit into this scenario?
