When the Paddy Wagon Comes Along, It Takes The Good Girls Along With the Bad

As you can see from this chart of West Texas Intermediate Crude Oil vs some major energy industry funds, when oil goes South, it drags everybody with it.

As Charlie Belida used to say, "When the paddy wagon comes along, it takes the good girls along with the bad."

Now, oil is primed for an oversold bounce here. Do you believe this is the bottom? Or is this a chance to get out of some losing positions at higher prices? And perhaps add some positions with short-oil exposure?

In $10 Trigger Alert, I've been recommending stocks that should do well as oil prices go lower (because energy is a major input for them OR they make more money when consumers have more money). What you do is up to you. Be careful.

Good luck and good trades.
