All Positions Go!

All of our current positions are showing profits. Platinum was our big winner today, up 1.5% and the Russell 2000 gained .75%.

There is one new signal for tomorrow: buy Copper. However, it is a very short-term signal, and therefore, I do not recommend it for ETFs.

No signals were stopped out today.

Good luck to all!
