....And the Boards Lit Up!
As if to welcome me home, I received a plethora of signals this evening. We have gone weeks without utilizing all five of our ETF positions, and tonight we must decide which signals not to follow.
Here is our current portfolio:
PORTFOLIO SYMBOL ENTRY CLOSE STOP PROFIT DAYS
Long Soy Oil BOZ10 40.86 49.58 43.77 $5,232 50
Long Platinum PLZ11 1696.20 1704.00 1669.1 1440.00 1
Long Platinum PTM 19.86 20.15 19.74 1.5% 1
Long Canadian CDZ10 97.92 97.53 96.12 -$390 1
Long Canadian FXC 97.01 97.11 95.71 0.1% 1
Heating Oil HOZ10 227.43 226.84 223.38 -$248 1
Heating Oil UHN 26.96 26.98 26.57 0.1% 1
To reiterate, we received the following signals:
3 signals to buy the British Pound
1 signal to buy Crude Oil
2 signals to buy Gold
1 (more) signal to buy Platinum
1 signal to buy silver.
Since we're already long Platinum, we really must choose 2 out of 4. Since we received 3 signals on British, and 2 on Gold, we'll choose those two. Note, too, that we are already long a metal, a currency, and an energy, so that is another reason for our approach. The historical records on these systems are quite good:
British Pound, BPZ10 and FXB, 22 wins out of 24 historical for 92%.
Gold, GCZ10 and GLD, 26 wins out of 29 historical for 90%.
All the best to you!

3 signals to buy the British Pound
1 signal to buy Crude Oil
2 signals to buy Gold
1 (more) signal to buy Platinum
1 signal to buy silver.

The Worst Possible Timing
Both of my signals for Monday were stopped out while I was on a plane, so there is no way that the ETF tracker could have duplicated my results. The net of the two signals was a negative, and is being recorded on the BLOG as such.
There were three new signals for Tuesday:
buy heating oil HOZ10 and UHN. Win ratio: 46/55 for 84%
buy canadian dollar CDZ10 and FXC. Win ratio: 74/78 for 95%
buy platinum PLF11 and PTM. Win ratio: 30/34 for 88%

Three Signals for Monday
I am on the run, so I'll forego the usual statistics for today. There are three new signals: buy crude oil, buy heating oil, and sell short silver. We'll track Oil and Silver, but there is too much contagion risk with heating oil, plus, the crude is much more "liquid" in terms of volume on the exchanges. We'll probably be back to normal on Tuesday. The crude oil signal has a 75% win-ratio; the silver has an 83% win-ration.
See you soon!

Two More Positions Are Exited; No New Signals
While there has been quite a lot of both up and down activity in the markets we follow, we have no new signals for tomorrow. Two of our active positions were exited today: Long New Zealand Dollar, and Short Gold. Our Short Gold was barely stopped out, and then Gold plummeted. So, though we made money, we missed another downward move in the metal. Our two exited positions racked up profits as follows:

I am proud to say that our year-to-date ETF return is up to 16.0%. If this keeps up, we will close the year up over 20%; no guarantees. We base this result on a simple mathematical extrapolation.
Best of luck to all!

Markets Collapse As China Raises Interest Rates
In an effort to slow growth, China raised its interest rates yesterday, sending many of the foreign currencies we track plummeting versus the dollar. Our new positions in short gold and short the Canadian Dollar rose rapidly in futures trading. However, the collapse came before the New York stock markets opened, so the results on the ETFs were mixed.

Monday brings two new Signals
I AM CURRENTLY TRAVELING. WHILE I EXPECT POSTS WILL GO UP EVERY DAY, I DO NOT KNOW HOW LATE THEY MAY BE DURING THIS PERIOD. I WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN I HAVE RETURNED AND I AM BACK TO "NORMAL." I APOLOGIZE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE THIS MAY CAUSE.
Here is our current portfolio:

We have two new hard-to-follow algorithmically-generated signals for tomorrow: sell short the Canadian Dollar, and sell short Gold. These are not for the faint-hearted, after the ralleys that these investments have had recently. The record on Canadian: 14 wins out of 14 trades for 100%. Symbols are CDZ10 and FXC (this one is long).
The record on gold is 24 wins out of 29 trades for 83%. The symbols on Gold are GCZ10 and DGZ (short gold already).
Good luck!. God willing, we'll see you tomorrow.
All the best!

Cotton--Up 5%, then down 10% for a net Minus 5%
I AM CURRENTLY TRAVELING. WHILE I EXPECT POSTS WILL GO UP EVERY DAY, I DO NOT KNOW HOW LATE THEY MAY BE DURING THIS PERIOD. I WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN I HAVE RETURNED AND I AM BACK TO "NORMAL." I APOLOGIZE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE THIS MAY CAUSE.
If you wish to review our feelings about the Cotton position, then just look at yesterday's POST. However, the important thing is that the system got us out of the position at today's open. For the ETF, this was the high of the day:

Long Cotton CTZ10 99.80 118.50 $9,350 9
Long Cotton BAL 50.07 56.47 12.8% 9
Our portfolio has shrunk to virtually nothing. Our Year-to-Date ETF return is slightly over 16%.

A Quick Post; Unconvential Wisdom Again.
I AM CURRENTLY TRAVELING. WHILE I EXPECT POSTS WILL GO UP EVERY DAY, I DO NOT KNOW HOW LATE THEY MAY BE DURING THIS PERIOD. I WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN I HAVE RETURNED AND I AM BACK TO "NORMAL." I APOLOGIZE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE THIS MAY CAUSE.
The year-to-date BLOG return soared to 16.3% on Friday. Cotton and the grains led all the markets higher, based upon supply-and-demand fundamentals. Our corn signal is up over 15% in FOUR DAYS. However, we know that that is not what led the BLOG into these positions. Our positions are based upon algorithms that have been back-tested based upon historical data.
Gold and silver have been strong, and we exited two profitable silver positions just recently. And so the signals for tomorrow, 2 to sell short gold and 2 to sell short silver scare us to death. Given our recent success, it may be time for a pullback for the BLOG. In any event, the BLOG will only follow one of the gold shorts, since there is too much contagion risk for us to do anything else. The gold system had 28 trades, 24 of which were profitable, for a win-ratio of 85%. I will give no guarantees about whether the gold will be stopped out overnight or not; and I may not be posting again for at least another 24 hours. All I can tell you is that the initial stop is 1.4%, so even if the signal is wrong and gets stopped out, it will only affect our year-to-date return by -.3%, since each ETF position is only 20% of the portfolio. Good luck!

I'll be quick as I am on the road. There is one new signal to buy soybeans; however, we are already long soy oil and corn, so I will not track this additional signal in the BLOG. Three positions were taken out today, all with profits.

October 6
I AM CURRENTLY TRAVELING. WHILE I EXPECT POSTS WILL GO UP EVERY DAY, I DO NOT KNOW HOW LATE THEY MAY BE DURING THIS PERIOD. I WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN I RETURN.
The original Oct 6 post was deleted; it said to buy Swiss, Cotton and Corn. I cannot retrieve it now. The mix-up came while I was at the airport. If a reader kept a copy of that post, please send it to me. Otherwise, this post will remain as is.

Stock Markets, Energy and Metals Soar
Fueled by a generally weaker U.S. Dollar, most of the markets we track rose sharply today. Many had single-day gains of over 2%. I wish we were long more positions; but I am not unhappy with what we do have.

If you look carefully, you will see that one position was exited today. The New Zealand Dollar futures were stopped out with a profit, but the ETF is still hanging in there. Remember what happened when a similar thing occurred with Silver? The ETF SLV stayed in for weeks longer, and collected a big gain. We'll see what happens.
The exited position is shown below:

There is one scary signal for tomorrow: buy silver. The symbols are SIZ10 and SLV. You should know these symbols by now, if you watch the BLOG regularly.
The win-ratio is 99 wins out of 114 trades for 87%. It wouldn't be an overstatement to say that silver could be over-bought, but some markets can continue in such a state far longer than anyone could have predicted ahead of time. We'll see. If we get stopped out over night, we'll try and alert you in the morning.

BLOG Returns 10.4% Year-To-Date
The Year-to-Date ETF return is: 10.4%. This is for the period from January 7 to September 30. This means $1,000,000 would have become $1,103,653. By contrast, a $1,000,000 CD yielding 1.5% would have grown to $1,010,973, or 1.1%. A $1,000,000 investment in the S&P 500 Stock Index from Jan 7 to August 31 would have increased to $1,026,134, or 2.6%.
The annualized ETF return to the end of the year would be 14.2%. This is unchanged from the end of August. This assumes that the investment grows at the same rate to the end of the year. Bear in mind, this is a purely a mathematical result, and past performance is not indicative of future results.
For futures, an investment in one contract in each position returned $65,741 for an annualized return of $89,871. Two contracts would return twice that, etc. Again, past performance is not indicative of future results.
Please see the Section on the lower side bar entitled on "Shortcomings and Limitations." Today's BLOG Post is repeated on the upper side-bar and will continue to appear there until the next update.
Have a profitable week!
