RA: Suffice it to say, your early Saturday morning update on the 10-year is brilliant, and clearly, no more kicking the can down the road. Time to reef the main and batten down the hatches. Ready about! Hard a’ lee!

Thanks, SB. Clarity, simplicity and precision are what I aim for — and no waffling. I try extra hard when it seems like nearly everyone else is baffled, confused or flat-out wrong.

July Crude is a buy at 92.77, stop 86.12, for a one-level move to p=99.41. The ‘camo’ rule — don’t do it unless you know how to pare risk down to relative chump change — applies.

You’ll notice that the chart accompanying the latest Crude tout is not annotated. This is for proprietary reasons, and it will be an increasingly common feature of my charts from now on. My Hidden Pivot targets are getting front-run more and more, and this is an appropriate response.

I am also ending one-on-one consultations for the same reason: Trading secrets that have taken me nearly 40 years to develop have become too valuable to share. The sessions will still be available at the old rate of $400/hour, but only to subscribers who have met with me privately online in the past. I am also willing to teach “everything I know,” but for a non-negotiable price that reflects the true value of this information. Serious inquiries only.

I have stopped marketing Rick’s Picks altogether, since it doesn’t work — even with an unseemly amount of hyperbole, and regardless of how well my recommendations perform. The extraordinary results achieved with targets, stops and trend calls that I post informally in here seem destined to remain invisible to most traders. However, if you tell a friend who subscribes for at least six months, I will add three months to your subscription.
