Crude oil is looking increasingly comfortable around the $US80 area, but small speculators have been increasing their bullish bets lately—usually a sign that another dip is around the corner. Overall, crude oil and its related stocks are back on our radar, but another dip under $US80 is our preferred scenario to knock out the “weak longs.”
- We like crude oil into dips but one more washout on the downside wouldn’t surprise.
