I'm an amateur stock trader who likes to use technical analysis to trade my stocks. I can't claim to make a living from it like some people do. However I would like to someday. While watching this Friday's Fast Money I couldn't help but notice all the talk about oil breaking out. I was glad to hear this because as oil broke out yesterday I was putting my Roth IRA into USO. I don't have a lot of money in my Roth IRA, but since it's an account that allows for tax-free gains, I like to trade it. Heres what I saw:

Last night New Hampshire hosted their 2008 Presidential primaries. Ever since I was a child I had always admired the mystique of their bold state motto: "Live Free or Die!". So it was with regret and a tinge of sadness that I watched the outcome of their primaries. To see the state that proclaimed liberty as their most cherished right overwhelmingly vote for a mix of Republican and Democratic candidates who blatantly proclaim the exact opposite in the form of increased social programs, elimination of civil liberties, inflationary monetary policy, higher taxes and nation building.
