Silver Posts Largest Gain in Fairly Quiet Markets

The biggest ETF gainer today was SLV, up .88%. The Crude Oil futures contract was stopped out with a gain, but the ETF wasn't, so one strategy would be to exit upon the open tomorrow. That's what we'll use in posting the BLOG results.

There are no new signals for tomorrow.

Our results are shown in the Table below.
