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:
