Your Kind of Day?

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:06:48 GMT

As a rule, I try not to read too terribly much into a "Fed Day" as there is usually a big batch of volatility that may or may not mean much of anything come the dawn of the next day. Maybe, it's just me. Or maybe there are others that find themselves inclined to simply stand aside and watch the nuttiness from the sidelines on "Fed Days." But in any event, the volatility after a Fed announcement, while fun to watch, may not be telling as to what to expect in the future.[More...]

Ethanol Bounces Back After Tough Year

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 01:46:00 GMT

Oct. 25--STEAMBOAT ROCK -- Cheaper corn, rising oil prices and smarter business decisions are powering ethanol's road to recovery.
