A Change May Be Coming

It was January when we speculated that there might be a turnaround in the direction of the U.S. Dollar. We had a signal to sell short the Euro Currency. The Euro fell for the past several weeks. A couple of days ago, we got an independent signal to buy the Euro. Today, our short Euro was stopped out to give us our biggest realized gain of the year 2010.

The new signals for tomorrow are to buy the Aussie and Canadian Dollars. If these signals are right, coupled with the long Euro, then there may be a big turn coming in the direction of the U.S. Dollar. We'll wait and see.

The Russell 2000, Cotton, and Platinum were up today, so we had some nice moves.

I am grateful for the support I am receiving from all of you. Each week, the number of hits on the BLOG is growing.
