The best hedge for long stock positions right now is a long position in crude oil. While far from perfect, the best way for stock traders to gain this exposure is probably through the United States Oil Fund ETF (USO).

It is hard to underestimate just how explosive this situation could become in the coming weeks and months. NYMEX crude oil is currently trading just below $100 and Brent crude is sitting at $115.35. If the latest spike in oil prices teaches us anything, it is that this commodity is incredibly volatile and little can be done about sharp price increases resulting from geopolitical shocks.

If you would have known that $100 oil was coming just two days ago due to major geopolitical strife in Libya and elsewhere in North Africa and the Middle East, the thought might be that the bull market would be a sudden bear market. So far that is not the case and the market was not even down a full percentage point today.

Today was all about international turmoil, hands down. Unrest is becoming civil war in Libya and turmoil in North Africa continues to rock headlines. Housing prices also showed yet another drop, something to be expected. This was the worst day in the markets in quite some time. Oil rallied sharply and gold rose on the panic trade.

"The actions of the world's central banks tell the story. At the very least, this is going to keep upward pressure on gold in the years ahead.

Last month was certainly tough for gold. In fact, it was the worst January in about 20 years.

But as usual, there were many investors who thought that this was the end of the bull run. Hasn't gold risen for ten straight years? Isn't it time for a bear market?

Well, the fact is that corrections are normal, even for gold. And there is no reason to believe that the recent fall-off is yet another example.

So is this a correction or finally a bear market?

Well, legendary investor, Jim Rogers, still thinks that commodities are the best place for your investment dollars (according to an interview on CNBC). No doubt, he has lots of credibility. When others snickered, Rogers started to invest in commodities in the late 1990s. He even wrote a book on the topic.

Thursday was marked by mixed markets with technology stocks higher and the rest of the market mixed to lower. The dollar was up and both oil and gold were down. A lackluster jobless claims might have taken away some of the zing that the ADP and TrimTabs data showed for employment trends ahead of Friday's non-Farm Payrolls and unemployment rate due Friday morning. Still, many key names were on the move today.

The FOMC Minutes gave a Bernanke justification, or attempted re-justification, for QE2 today. Shares tried to have a positive day yet again for the second trading day of the year but the tone was very mixed despite a higher DJIA close at a two-year high. Gold saw major selling, as did most other commodities. This was a positive day for the DJIA, but the S&P and NASDAQ looked weak at the close.

Ben Bernanke's explanation and defense, or lack thereof to many, about his version of QE2, managed to dominate many key themes today. Gold was hitting fresh highs and European woes were discounted again. We are seeing the risk trade come in full force, although many of the sectors were soft. Late-day selling in the DJIA and S&P500 made for a close in the red, but this was close to red and black for most of the afternoon session after a fairly weak open.

Sometimes trouble and dissatisfaction propel us to move out of the box, to create something new and different. Such was the case of the World Gold Council. Founded in 1987 by a group of mining companies, its primary goal is to promote the use of gold.

For nearly 20 years the organization plodded along with little success. Then Chris Thompson, the group's chairman came up with the idea of creating a gold fund that would allow ordinary investors to buy into the gold market without either buying physical gold or gold futures. So in 2004, the Council created the SPDR Gold Shares Fund, as reported in the Financial Times.

The ups and downs and the panic monitoring of the European Union is getting tiresome. Now we know how European portfolio managers felt in late-2007 through early-2009 when the only news that mattered was U.S. banking woes. Consumer confidence was higher and regional business surveys showed an increase as well. That trumped lower housing prices today.

Tuesday was another down day for the stock market, with the Dow losing almost 180 points and the S&P falling nearly 20. Right now, this appears like a much needed and long overdue correction. No need to panic. In fact, if the U.S. economy continues to improve, the next few days could present great buying opportunities in the commodity markets.

This is because the Federal Reserve is determined to make sure that the world is awash in liquidity going forward. The sheer scope and size of these liquidity injections have an awful lot of investors concerned about the long-term stability of fiat currencies, as well as a number of sovereign bond markets. As this uncertainty continues to manifest itself, hard assets may see more substantial price increases.
