Our portfolio is shown above, including, for a change, our new signal: buy the British Pound. The record on this system is 33 wins out of 33 trades for 100%. Our exited positions are shown below. Overall, Friday was not a good day for the BLOG; but we will stick with the averages over the long term. Note that we exited soymeal with a profit over a long number of days, we made a very small gain on the Russells future, and lost money over a short time on Silver. Long term, I believe that there is quite a bit to be made on the metals.

Long Silver SIU10 18.505 18.105 -$2,000 3
Long Silver SLV 17.82 17.72 -0.6% 3
