I'm not sure why I'm bothering with a post about the pre-market when the key economic numbers are coming out in just a few minutes, but – – oh, well! For me, the good news is that the pre-market equities look extremely weak (black line below; this is a 5 day minute bar graph, tracked 24 hours/day). The not-so-good news is that oil still can't seem to find any strength (blue line). I wonder how many of my ten energy-related calls are going to survive the day.
