No New Signals

There were no new signals from my programs for today's market.

The action continued with a similar theme to recent days: the U.S. Dollar was strong, while many investments were weak. The stock market, energy, metals, and foods were weak. Our soybeans lost money, but our short Euro continued to make gains. Two other positions never made it to the ETF stage, because they were short-lived.
