Monday Markets Mostly Monotone Increasing

The markets we track were mostly monotone increasing. The biggest winners were Crude Oil, Heating Oil and the Russell 2000. These three were up about 2%. In addition, there were strong gains in practically every programmed position that we are tracking. Please see Saturday's BLOG post on the Rate of Return. These rates of return were updated this evening from data revisions.

Our programmed trades are looking very good. We have one new signal for tomorrow, buy Natural Gas. I personally have been waiting for this signal. Natural Gas is a plentiful energy alternative, but we have not had a signal for this commodity in the BLOG up until now. The track record is 23 wins out of 24 trades for 95%. The ETF symbol is UNG. If any of you know of any others, please feel free to post a comment.

Good luck to all!
