The Commodity Sector is Being Dismantled Today

On the back of a strong dollar, waning demand from China, and worsening debt/eq situation, commodity related stocks were pummeled today.

Shares of CLR, CXO, FCX, WLL and many others fell by 5% of more.

According to data provided by Exodus, the median drop in the basic material space was upwards of 2% today. Over the past month, stocks are down 7%. For the year, Jim Rogers’ bow tied has been bojangled to the tune of -29%

I went long FCX after Icahn stepped in. The stock surged to $13, shortly thereafter, and has almost been cut in half since.
