Carley Garner and Tim Bourquin of the MoneyShow.com sat down at the Traders Expo in Las Vegas to "talk shop".  Click the link below to listen to what they had to say about seeking overheated markets using the CFTC's COT (Commitments of Traders Report).  If you are unfamiliar with the COT Report issued by the Commodity Trading Commission, it is a weekly statistics report to identify which types of traders are holding net long or short positions in the various commodity markets.  There isn't an equivalent report available to stock traders, but it can be thought of as being similar to insider trading filings in the equity markets.  Money Show, Traders Expo Las Vegas Carley Garner Interview
