Everything UP

Everything that we track on the BLOG was mostly up today. This includes the major stock indices, foreign currencies, foods, energy and metals. The copper ETF was up a full 2% for the day--we don't have a current signal for copper. The cotton ETF was up 1.2%, and we do have an active signal for cotton.

There are no new signals for Monday. Short copper was stopped out for a small gain before it soared to the upside. The open positions and newly closed positions are summarized below.
