Accomplished traders know that the news has little to offer other than occasional context, and mostly entertainment value. This chart is our latest installment in the category of you-just-can't-make-this-stuff-up.
Look at the two articles published by Bloomberg recently. Then, compare the dates the articles were published to a daily chart of WTI futures. Oil was getting ready to launch for the moon. The orange arrows point out the specific days that Goldman and Barclays issued their bullish reports.
