To 3(%) or not to 3(%). As you can see from the Fed's GDPNow forecast, it's raging ahead of the forecasts of our leading Economorons by a wide margin. Usually, I bet against the Economorons but the Fed is full of them too so it's a toss-up as to who is likely to be more wrong but we have a short bet on the Dow Futures ( /YM ) at 21,900 that says it's the Fed . We took that bet in our Live Trading Webinar yesterday afternoon and added to it this morning as the Dow popped in early morning trading, getting all excited about a European open that's fading fast as of 6:35. To some extent, it's a hedge against our long Oil ( /CL ) bet at $46.15, which is a double-dip from the bet that made us gains $500 per contract in the first hour of our live webinar ( you're welcome !). This morning, Gasoline ( /RB ) is looking cheap again at $1.63, so I like a long there with tight stops below $1.625, which would still be a $210 loss as gasoline contracts are expensive at $420 per penny – so be very careful trading them. We'll see if the oil inventories (10:30) can get both to break higher, the API Data was encouraging for the bulls, showing a 5.78Mb draw in crude, up from 3.6Mb last week but that data was through Friday – ahead of the storm. Oh, and don't cry if you missed yesterday's PSW Report ( subscribe here and never miss one again ) but you know those Gasoline (/RBV7) contracts that were up $1,755 early yesterday morning at $1.585 and I said you missed the first 0.02 of the move? Well, this morning we got the rest of the 0.10 to $1.655, so that's another $7,020 gained on our 2 long contracts , up $3,510 per contract – wasn't that easy? Remember, I can only tell you what is likely to happen and how to make money playing it – the rest is up to you… That's right, while I was writing this post (now 6:56), the …
