Dear Guru Ron/BC,
I’ curious to hear your thoughts on WTI and where you see is going ? ARe we likely to break the $66 level ?
Nice jump on ATH today due to the upgrade. But of course it will pull back with WTI.
btw, I’m hoping you stay within Canadian borders, as I’m hoping to visit you some day in BC. I am not a fan of crossing the border these days!
My Best Wishes to you!
KC minus the sunshine band.

I posted a chart of WTIC with comments yesterday on this site. Here is the chart again. The chart suggests a test of the $66 area and soon. It may break but support is support so I’d be tempted to see what the price action is if it is touched. It is already oversold so add in some bearish news and it just might be the place to take a position. As far as the U.S. border goes I would love to go visit and stay in the U.S. At least they speak English and measure things in Imperial measurement just like the old days here. And they don’t have the same mamby pamby typical Liberal policies like in Canada. Washington State looks like a good place to live. They even have doctors and nurses and do surgery there in a timely manner. Last time there I needed a prescription and just went into a Pharmacy and got exactly what I needed immediately without a doctors help. (sorry to rave on) But meanwhile I’ll stay in Victoria and enjoy my retirement. Golf is good here most of the year unless the rain is pounding down day after day which does happen at times. And we do get a bit of snow now and again too. But other than that most of the year is quite mild.

Thanks for the above Ron/BC. Sorry I dont read this blog daily and missed your comments about WTI. I wish I had time to as I do enjoy the banter at times. I spend too much time reviewing other material and videos
There are pros and cons to living on either side of the border. I have a couple of friends in Washington state , one that moved to Texas (I’m not sure why are they have worse problems). I will spare you the political debate. The weather is indeed perfect in Victoria albeit having to possiblyy contend with the effects from those fault lines at times. Which I think is more of an issue south of the border.
Cheers,
KC
