More bad news on the economic front brought lower stock markets. Copper has been down for the past month, and this is often a harbinger of declining economic growth.

Downward Thrust Dominates the Markets
Most stock markets dropped over 3% today in dangerous trading. Our Short S&P position benefited. However, our position in coffee was narrowly stopped out, before coffee had a snapback. I was sad to see the position go; however, we pocketed over 8% on the ETF.

Not a Volitile Day
The BLOG's rate of return is shown in the previous post below.
Today featured no climatic movement such as that which we have seen recently. For the year, the metals continue strong, while the stock markets have gone essentially nowhere, although they have gotten there with wild rallies and sharp declines.
Intraday, Sugar triggered a trailing stop, and was stopped out. My futures programs stopped me out; however, I don't do my postings by the minute. For ETF purposes, I will show the BLOG exiting the Sugar ETF with a loss. Because of timing, this is one of those rare occasions wherein the future result and the ETF result differ.

BLOG's Return for the First Half of 2010
We have completed the last full week of June, and we have our results:
The Year-to-Date ETF return is: 10.3%. This is for the period from January 7 to June 27.
This means $10,000 would have become $11,030, or $100,000 would have become $110,300. The results are mathematically proportional to the amount of investment.
The annualized ETF return to the end of the year would be 21.8%. This assumes that the investment grows at the same rate to the end of the year.
For futures, an investment in one contract in each position returned $48,780 for an annualized return of $103,517.
Two contracts would return twice that, etc.
For ETFs, the assumptions on return are shown in the BLOG Post of March 9. The returns on futures assume no commissions and that one would have had access to my intra-day stops, which are computed continuously throughout the day.
If you have any questions, please email me at bassanalytics@live.com. The harder the question, the better!

Stocks Markets Plummet Near Close
The stock markets were up early in the day, and plummeted near the close. We closed out the Russell 2000 Long position with a gain:
Long Russell TFM10 634.10 642.40 830 14
Long Russell IWM 63.29 65.39 3.3% 14
In 14 days we made 3.3% on the ETF.
By contrast, the short S&P position,which we took this week, made money. Our open positions appear below:

That's all for tonight. Please email any questions or comments that you might have.

In 14 days we made 3.3% on the ETF.
By contrast, the short S&P position,which we took this week, made money. Our open positions appear below:

For tomorrow, exit the long New Zealand Dollar position. Note also, that we got two signals to sell short the Russell 2000. These are duplicate signals for that of the S&P; however, they reinforce the downward market scenario. As usual, we'll only track the first signal: that of the S&P.
That's all for tonight. Please email any questions or comments that you might have.

What a Roller Coaster Ride!
Stock Markets, Currencies, Energy, and many other markets opened much higher Sunday afternoon, then rocketed up even higher, then fell precipitously before the close on Monday afternoon.
Our new S&P short signal actually made money, then exited for a small gain. However, the same signal is giving a short position for the next session. I will record the futures gain in the BLOG, but under the circumstances, we will show the S&P ETF as still short.
We have two other new signals for tomorrow: sell short the Euro Currency. The record is 10 wins out of 10 trades historically, or 100%. The symbols are ECU10 and for the ETF that means shorting the FXE or buying the EUO (however, this ETF is double short, so be careful). For BLOG purposes, will will be tracking short the FXE.
Also, buy Soybeans: symbol SX10. The record is 29 wins out of 39 trades historically, or 74%.
Here are the open positions:

Long Russell TFM10 634.10 658.80 651.00 2470 13

For Monday June 21
If you have been following this week carefully, you'd see that we had a great week. The results below speak for themselves and were spectacular. They were better than the stock market indices' rally. Coffee was up almost 10% in one week. Here are the results:
PORTFOLIO Symbol Entry Close Stop Profit Days
Long Russell TFM10 634.10 662.90 649.80 2880 11
Long Russell IWM 63.29 66.80 65.48 5.5% 11
Long Cotton CTZ10 79.31 78.95 74.71 -180 9
Long Cotton BAL 38.51 38.46 36.39 -0.1% 9
Long Coffee KCU10 146.10 162.10 150.80 6000 6
Long Coffee JO 40.45 44.30 41.21 9.5% 6
Long New Zeal NE1U10 69.42 70.11 69.59 690 4
Long New Zeal BNZ 22.02 22.31 22.14 1.3% 4
One position was stopped out, the short Canadian, with a profit:
Short Canadian CDU10 97.46 97.17 290 1
Note that a few days ago I told you that short Canadian and long New Zealand was contradictory, and were likely not to both be profitable. However, they both were profitable. First, the currencies both fell and made money and stopped out the Canadian, then currencies rallied and a trailing stop locked in profits for the New Zealand Dollar. Chalk that up to another time that I was wrong! It won't be the last. Pleasantly, I followed both signals and made money.
Now, for another one of my conundrums. We are long the Russell 2000 and have made 5.5% in 11 days. I just received a signal to sell short the S&P 500. This obviously contradicts the Russell signal. There are two things we could do in the BLOG follow both simultaneously, or cancell each out and become "neutral" with regard to the stock markets. Note the Russell is more growth stocks; the S&P are the 500 largest, so there is a "spread" type play here.
Statistics on the S&P system: 15 wins out of 17 trades for 88%. Symbols ESU10 and SH.
OK, so what shall I do? I am going to leave both signals in the BLOG. Their rates of return beginning on Monday will roughly cancel each other out, but if one is subsequently left by itself, that will probably determine the next intermediate direction of the stock markets. Personally, I will follow this approach as well.
One more caution: Cotton has been in a long position longer than I would have liked with a loss. This is not good for the signal. The mathematical reasons for the long signal have vanished now. So, it might not be a bad idea to go against the signal and take a small loss because the stop is still deep. What will I do? I haven't decided yet. But for BLOG-tracking purposes, I must leave it in.

Another Huge Day for the BLOG!
We entered a "dry spell" for the month of May. The major stock market indices collapsed during the month of May. We were mostly out of the market, though we were briefly short and briefly long. However, we avoided the collapse.
Today, our coffee position rose 4.6%! As previously noted, this was the first time this year that the BLOG has taken a position in coffee. The ETF for coffee rose 6.2% in one day! Also, remember that I said emotionally I was somewhat afraid to buy coffee after its recent sharp rise. I was wrong; the computer programs were right.
The Russell 2000 rose 1.9% today! Take note that this is 2000 stocks, so this indicates a very broad market advance. Remember what I had to say about this signal: I said that it was scary and to beware! I even gave reasons for my feelings about the market.
Finally, cotton rose .2%, which is respectable for a one-day move. Here is a summary of our portfolio positions:
PORTFOLIO Symbol Entry Close Stop Profit Days
Long Russell TFM10 634.10 662.80 649.40 2870 7
Long Russell IWM 63.29 66.99 65.64 5.8% 7

Long Coffee JO 40.45 43.75 41.10 8.2% 2
There are two new contradictory signals for tomorrow: sell short the Canadian Dollar and buy the New Zealand Dollar. One indicates U.S. Dollar strength, and one indicates U.S. Dollar weakness. Can they both be right? Yes, it is possible, but not probable.
Canadian Dollar symbols are CDU10 and FXC. Note that the ETF is a long fund, not a short fund (please write to me if you have questions about this.) The track record is 11 wins out of 11 trades for a 100% win-ratio. While this is phenomenal, it is not credible statistically.
New Zealand Dollar symbols are NE1U10 and BNZ. The ETF is thinly traded. The track record for the system is 27 wins out of 35 trades for 77%.
Good luck, and please write to me at the address below if you have any questions.

Big Profits for Monday
This was a spectaular day for the BLOG. The three positions that remained open soared: Coffee was the big winner up 3.3%, with a trailing stop lock on profits. Both the Russell 2000 and Cotton had over 1% gains each.
The Aussie and Canadian were stopped out for futures gains but small ETF loses. The reason for this was simply timing: the futures markets generally are open 24 hours, whereas the ETFs trade for roughly a third of that time.
There are no new signals for tomorrow.

For Monday
We are long the Canadian and Cotton. We are still long the Russell 2000; it was not stopped out intra-day as I had said on Friday. However, most of the ETF followers would most likely still be in; and the position is still valid.
In addition: another new signal to buy the Russell, a new signal to buy the Aussie, and a new signal the buy Coffee.
The new Russell signal will not be formally tracked, since it is a duplication of Friday's signal. Note that its record is 17 wins out of 17 trades for 100% historically. Unlike the currently running Russell signal, this second signal has a deep 5% initial stop, so if it fails, it fails big time. This, in the middle of a traditionally bearish seasonal market, makes it anything from certain (most things aren't!)
The Coffee signal is the first such signal for the BLOG. Be careful on Coffee; it moved up hugely on Friday. Therefore, it may be due for a pullback before it resumes an upward trend. Also, I may pull Sugar from the BLOG as the initial stop is very deep as a percentage of the initial price.
Coffee: 25 wins out of 29 trades historically for 86%. Symbols: KCU10 and JO.
Aussie Dollar: 43 wins out of 58 trades for 74%(revised upward from the previous post); however, very shallow in initial stop. Symbols: ADU10 and FXA.
Best of luck!

Intra-Day BLOG
The Russell 2000 rallied today and our position was stopped out with a gain. It is 11:30 Pacific Time right now, so the market is open 1 1/2 hours more.
Canadian Dollar and Cotton are still active and long.
Numbers to follow this weekend.

Hang On To Your Seats!
Why do I say this? Because one of the signals is frightening to me....so it is probably right. Buy the Russell 2000. Note that seasonality is against this trade. "Sell in May and go away," has been right more often than not. This last May was a bloodbath for the stock markets and we were out. However, this signal bucks the trend down....it only has a 69% win ratio, but with a fairly tight intial stop.
Buy Cotton. This signal had a 90% win ratio. Buy the Canadian Dollar. This signal was 84% profitable historically. Details of each signal will follow tomorrow morning. Good luck!

Hump Day Post
The Japanese Yen was stopped out overnight, thus implying that the ETF position will exit in the morning. I'll post the results in the next BLOG.
Two new futures positions were added overnight, and both exited with profits. Thus, no ETF will result. I'll post these results in the next BLOG.
No new signals that would convert to an ETF position.
All the best!

BLOG RESULTS: Year-To Date
Our philosophy is a variant of a Bible Verse: There is a time to be long, a time to be out, and possibly a time to be short. Certainly, this maxim applies to any market. It would have been wise to be out of real estate over the past few years, and the stock market in most of 2008, etc. Sometimes things that did poorly for an entire decade, like gold, soar in a time when all currencies and economies are called into question.
For the year, our BLOG, which follows many diverse investments using computer programs, has generated an ETF return of 5.6% year-to-date (June 8). Annualized, this would be 13.3%.
This return is generated using a plethora of assumptions that can be found on the post of March 9.
For the record, the S&P index of 500 stocks has returned -3.1% year-to-date, and let's just hope that that won't be annualized.
The programs continue to generate signals that are not intuitive to me. However, that is precisely why I use them to begin with...............

Back On Line
Good Evening.
It is Tuesday night and we are back on line. All of the signals that we had previously relayed to you were stopped out with very modest gains:
Closed Portfolio Symbol Entry Out Profit Days
Long British BPM10 144.09 144.60 318.75 4
Long British FXB 143.31 144.02 0.5% 4
Long Gold GCM10 1195.00 1205.60 1060 10
Long Gold GLD 117.16 117.96 0.7% 10
Long Heating OilHON10 201.70 203.21 634.2 1
While I was out, there were a number of good signals. A notable one was short copper. However, in the interest of fair play, we will not count any of the signals that were generated while I was out and could not communicate them to you. Likewise, the returns that we have generated will only be quoted with signals that were publicly communicated.
I hope to give you a continuous string of communications from today onward. However, I was told many years ago to caveat all such promises with "God Willing."
All of the previously communicated positions were closed out; there is one new signal for tomorrow. It is to buy the Japanese Yen. Those of you who have followed the BLOG will note that I don't usually give very many signals on this currency. This system, however, is 19 wins out of 25 trades for a 76% win ratio. The symbols are JYM10 and FXY for the ETF.
Good luck to all!

Wednesday Post
Due to health issues, I will be unable to update posts this week.
This I can say for now:
Heating Oil was stopped out for a gain.
We are still long the British Pound.
We are still long Gold.
I hope to update and begin again next Monday, if the personal issues have been taken care of.
Thanks for your support of this BLOG.
When I return, I intend to publish results.
Sincerely,
Dan
