Howdy all. Hope your weekend was a good one. Stocks are mixed on the day with the DOW finally gaining some ground on the other major indices. It's definitely been quite some time since that has happened, so it's good to see for the overall health of the markets right now.

Oil came back proving the guys at Elite Opportunity Pro know what they're talking about after last Thursday's edition here when we picked their brain. They clearly called for a trading bottom in oil and gold, and so far we're getting it. Whether or not oil has bottomed for good though is still an issue, but at least it's giving the S&P 500 and DOW some strength to kick off the week.

Happy Friday Everyone! We've been talking a lot about the future of commodities lately and for good reason - we're convinced commodities aren't all that far away from being the place to be over the next several years.

Commodities have been beaten up pretty good for quite a long time now. When it comes to sector investing though, every sector will always have its day, even years sometimes. And there's no denying commodities, specifically precious metals, are going to come roaring back at some point fairly soon - it's inevitable. When they do, gold and junior gold miners will come back in a big way.

As the markets continue to play back and forth, we figured we'd provide a little technical commodity insight today via John Monroe here at Elite Opportunity Pro (EOP). While stocks in general continue to climb - despite the last few days of weakness - commodities across the board continue to get obliterated, but John Monroe says it shouldn't last all that much longer.

There's three charts here today for everyone to chew on provided by the folks here at EOP; a daily chart of the S&P 500, a weekly chart of the price of oil and a weekly chart of GLD, an ETF that tracks the price of gold very accurately.

Markets have run into a pause of sorts with the all of the major indexes trading lower early, but are again clawing their way back on the day so far. Is this the beginning of a major selloff? Could be, however, all of the folks here at SmallCap Network do believe if that does end up happening, it will end up being another tremendous buying opportunity for the long run.

Since I've focused on showing you the S&P 500's short-term trading behavior over the last few days, I though today we'd have a look at the good 'ole DOW Jones Industrial Average, the historical benchmark index that all of the old timers love to follow. That's not meant to offend, it just is what it is - the older demographic (including myself) still pays close attention to the DOW, while traders and the younger folk seem to gravitate to the NASDAQ.

Remember the old E.F. Hutton commercials - when E.F. Hutton talks, people listen? I guess when Mark Cuban talks everyone listens to him too. On a CNBC interview earlier this morning, Cuban spoke highly of Twitter's ability now to leverage artificial intelligence, going on to say he's buying shares of the speculative social media pioneer and that it's a great bargain for investors. The news hit the social media wires sending the stock north of $18 per share in minutes.
