Change is almost always good, scary but good. Sometimes we choose it and other times is may be thrust upon us. Regardless, change happens.

Below is more or less my last column as an official MarketWatch Editor, I love MarketWatch but it has come time for me to leave Global Resources Trader. Four years ago I helped design, develop and edit GRT and I am very proud of all the work we have done together. I feel like a veteran having seen MarketWatch go from being owned by CBS, then bought out by Dow Jones, and then last year by Newscorp, certainly a lot of owners.

Anyway, I announced my resignation form marketwatch a few months ago and have been assisting in the transition. The publication will fold with my departure as the Managing Editors didn’t feel it could continue sucessfully if I left, I’m flattered. I will however continue to submit articles to MarketWatch and be quoted regularly as a contributing editor. I want to thank the entire MarketWatch family especially Craig Tolliver my editor, David Callaway Editor-in-Chief, and my favorite commodities reporter, Myra Picache, love ya myra.

MORE BIG ANNOUNCEMENTS COMING THIS WEEKEND, BE SURE TO CHECK BACK!

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — August. It’s the worst month to trade commodities. The second is December.
In my 20-year career August and December are the two months I usually vacation. Quiet trading and fewer participants inevitably lead to thin and volatile markets. The old saying is “if there is nothing to do, do nothing” Good advice for August, especially.
So just because it looks like this is the bursting of the bubble for commodities, be careful. What looks like the end of the bull market to some may just very well be a normal correction in what has been a parabolic ride.
