Fred asks to see some charts moving up. Other than inverse ETFs, I don’t see much in the stock arena. The 20 Year Bond ETF (TLT) moves up with the price of the 20 year bond.

Filed under: International markets, Commodities, Oil, Recession, Financial CrisisHistory is repeating itself, at least in the oil market.

The automotive giant (ish) asked for $18 billion in federal loans, one-and-a-half times the size of what it asked for a few weeks ago, amid a 41% decline in auto sales in November. But the thin...
