There was a flight to quality with a big rally in the Swiss Franc. It is worth $1.02 to the U.S. Dollar. Gold and silver also rose sharply. Our computer-generated portfolio looks like this:

We have two new signals for tomorrow: buy Silver and sell short Corn. The symbols on silver should be very familiar by now: SIZ10 and SLV. For Corn, the commodity is CZ10. Since we are going to go long SLV, that will complete five positions in our ETF model portfolio.
The historical records back-tested are as follows: silver had 52 wins out of 71 trades for 73%. Corn had 21 wins out of 24 trades for 88%. Both of these signals scare me, since silver seems overbought, and corn is extremely volitile from day-to-day as supply and demand statistics are released.
Have a nice evening!
