Ever wonder what the smart money is doing in the markets? You don’t need to pay big bucks to find out. Just read the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s free weekly Commitments of Traders report. The CFTC’s COT data is a Holy Grail of market info, listing trillions of dollars in positions in 200+ markets – gold, crude oil, natural gas, silver, forex, equity indexes and lots more. My trading system, which I posted about here for seven years, gave weekly trading signals based on the COT data.

Falling T-Bill Yield Points to Sickly Market Action
Many days, there's a good tell that helps give guidance to the tone of the market. Sometimes, it's been important to watch the VIX Volatility Index. In the past few days, I often find myself looking at the 3-month Treasury Bill yield (symbol $IRX on StockCharts.com). Yesterday, it plummeted most of the day - despite the Fed move. Today, it's continued its steady collapse all day. See a daily chart here. (The intraday chart, available to subscribers, shows what I'm saying better.) Not a good sign.
