Stock Markets Up Again

The Russell 2000 rose 1.1% today. The grains were even bigger winners. Boy, am I sorry we didn't go long soybeans and the Aussie. However, we felt that we already had enough risk of that type.

The Canadian Dollar, our new signal, was stopped out overnight. However, we have a fresh signal to buy again tonight. Thus, we will continue to track the ETF from today, and the new futures signal as well. The new signal is 36 wins out of 36 trades for 100%.

Here is the portfolio, and the closed out postion too.

PORTFOLIO SYMBOL ENTRY CLOSE STOP PROFIT DAYS
Long Soymeal SMZ10 267.50 275.75 270.60 $825 10
Long Corn CZ10 382.75 396.25 387.00 $675 7
Long Canadian CDU10 95.75 95.75 0 0
Long Canadian FXC 95.60 95.29 -0.3% 1

CLOSED OUT SYMBOL ENTRY OUT PROFIT DAYS
Long Canadian CDU10 95.40 95.75 $350 2

We have two exciting new signals for tomorrow: buy Heating Oil and buy the Russell 2000. Hang on to your seats!

The record on the Russell system is 22 wins out of 22 trades for 100%. The stop is deep at 4.4%, so be careful. The symbols are ETF IWM, and future TFU10.

The record on the Heating Oil system is 51 wins out of 62 trades for 82%. The stop is only 2.4%. The ETF is UHN, which is extremely thinly traded, so be careful! The future symbol is HOQ10.

These are signals that are "out there," in my opinion. Any comments would be appreciated.

Have a great day!
