    1. Yes, much bullishness.

      This is short term stuff, but cautioned me against being long over the weekend:

  3. HELLO C R ;

    I AGREE WITH OTHERS , THAT YOUR CHARTS ARE WELL DEFINED AND YOUR COMMENTS ARE TO THE POINT .

    EVEN IF I HAVE DO NOT AN INVESTMENT INTEREST IN WHAT MAY BE PRODUCED , I STILL FIND IT VERY INFORMATIVE AND USEFUL IN FILLING IN THE BACK GROUND OVER ALL . THE LUMBER CHART IS A CASE IN POINT .

    I DO NOT INVEST IN LUMBER , HOWEVER I WATCH IT FROM DAY TO DAY AS THE PRICES ARE USEFUL IN SHOWING WITHER THERE IS DEMAND FOR LUMBER, WHEN THERE IS AS IT APPEARS THAT WAY TODAY. IS SHOWS THAT BUILDERS ARE USING IT TO BUILD AND DEVELOP . ONE ALSO HAS TO BE AWARE THAT THE BUILDERS , CAN OVER GUESS WHAT THEY BELIEVE THE DEMAND IS , THEN THEY ARE LEFT HOLDING WHAT THEY CAN NOT SELL .

    OTHER ECONOMIC INFORMATION HAS TO BE USED TO FILL IN THE BIG PICTURE , YOUR WEB SITE HELP DOES THAT .

    I HOPE ALL HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEK, D-KNOX.

  4. Thanks very much D Knox and I am glad you find the blog useful. I had not looked at lumber in a while and was surprised how constructive the chart looked.I have traded it in the ast,it trends well but is somewhat illiquid (can get locked in limit moves !) I hope you are well,have a great week.
