Indices down, oil and metal futures up

8:34 pm (Hawaii). A cloak over the world of light. Ride the winged pterodactyl to bounties and treasures of ancient times. Oil. Gold. Silver. Futures could easily change direction before the opening bell. Until then, I'm sitting out, watching with both barrels locked and loaded.









Update, 11:04 pm (Hawaii). Dow Jones, S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures are flat. Crude oil (+1%), gold (+0.7%) and silver (+3.1%) are robust. Question is, has silver truly escaped the clutches of the naked short sellers/puppet masters? Or will we see a collapse before the opening bell as a bull trap is laid out in plain view? The effect of those lawsuits against JP Morgan has yet to wane. It may be a silver rush after all. We'll know in a few hours. 

Reuters: Gold and iron expected to rise, copper steady (Mar 6 2011) "Addressing the Prospectors and Developers (PDAC) conference in Toronto, forecaster Philip Klapwijk said he saw a 'stronger case for investment in precious metals as a safe haven' as demand for base metals declines due to slowing global growth and political turmoil."
