I have never been called a "chart monkey" before on live television

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Thursday, the 17th of January.

I just got back from New York late last night after doing some guest appearances on CNBC and Bloomberg television. It was in the latter show on Bloomberg TV doing a "Street Fighters" segment that Marshall Auerbach called technical traders "chart following monkeys". That's when all H*LL broke loose.

Do you remember last week on MarketClub TV we were talking about the potential set up in crude oil? Well it looks like all systems are go this morning. The down trend line has been broken to the upside and our Trade Triangles are +100, indicating a strong trend to the upside for this commodity.

We will also be analyzing these early movers today: CBS, PHM, and KLAC.

It's good to be back in the office now that we have the first two weeks of the year over with. We should be seeing some good markets to trade in 2013, starting with crude oil.

Have a great trading day,
Adam Hewison
