This week's article will be short and to the point. I’m at the Republican National Convention and so far there is not a whole lot to report on. To date, Hurricane Gustav has had everybody focused on issues bigger than politics. However, as the Gulf Coast appears to have been spared the worst of Gustav’s wrath, the talk once again is returning to the political issues.

Good evening traders. Here are the major indices, which do not look very good to me right now. I want to see them break through the 50 day moving average tomorrow because if they do, then I think perhaps a new downtrend could be in place.

From Dan Denning, low on change at an airport internet kiosk: With a crook laptop and an hour to go before we fly to Baltimore via San Francisco, your editor has plugged a few coins into an Internet kiosk at the airport to see what in the world is going on. A lot.

What a big country Australia is! Your Melbourne-based editor is back from a great visit to Geraldton in Western Australia. When you spend too much time behind a desk, you can forget how big Australia is.

In the world of energy and scarcity, the name of the next president of the United States will matter quite a bit. "People are policy," as Ronald Reagan used to say. But then again, a lot of energy and scarcity facts defy party labels. The energy resources are out there. They are what they are and where they are.

Good evening traders. Here are the major indices. I kind of see two different stories on the Nasdaq and S&P 500. The Nasdaq has pulled back rather significantly over the past week but volume has been below average.
