Happy Weekend!

Friday saw us take profits on our ETF copper position:

CLOSED OUT SYMBOL ENTRY OUT PROFIT DAYS
Long Copper JJC 44.52 45.61 2.4% 16

We made 2.4% being in 16 days.

Our current portfolio looks like this:
PORTFOLIO SYMBOL ENTRY CLOSE STOP PROFIT DAYS
Long British BPU10 155.34 153.75 148.67 -$994 20
Long British FXB 154.68 152.83 147.78 -1.2% 20
Long Silver SIU10 18.365 19.845 19.310 $0 18
Long Silver SLV 18.36 19.42 18.90 5.8% 18
Long Soyoil BOZ10 40.86 41.76 38.52 $540 5

We still have some good accumulated gains on our long silver position.

On Monday we will exit the British Pound.

One new signal tomorrow: Sell Short Gold. This is not at all an intuitive signal to me, and bear in mind, it could easily be wrong. The symbols for gold are GCZ10 and the short ETF is ETN. The track record for this system is

24 wins out of 27 trades for 89%.

Whatever you decide to do....have a great week!

Dan
