Post for Thursday

We are again posting a little late today due to circumstances beyond our control.

Our portfolio is as follows:


PORTFOLIO SYMBOL ENTRY CLOSE STOP PROFIT DAYS
Long Soy Oil BOZ10 40.86 49.60 43.77 $5,244 52
Long Platinum PLZ11 1696.20 1678.10 1669.1 1440.00 3
Long Platinum PTM 19.86 19.87 19.76 0.1% 3
Long Canadian CDZ10 97.92 97.16 96.12 -$760 3
Long Canadian FXC 97.01 96.66 95.63 -0.4% 3
Long British BPZ10 158.40 157.59 158.81 -506.25 2
Long British FXB 157.44 156.82 158.03 -0.4% 2
Long Gold GCZ10 1340.40 1322.6 1315.4 -$1,780 2
Long Gold GLD 129.93 129.52 128.81 -0.3% 2

As I write this POST on Thursday morning, the positions are up strongly from yesterday.

We were stopped out of one position, that of heating oil:

CLOSED OUT SYMBOL ENTRY OUT PROFIT DAYS
Heating Oil HOZ10 227.43 223.38 -$1,701 2
Heating Oil UHN 26.96 26.57 -1.4% 2


Finally, new signals for tomorrow: buy Crude Oil, buy Wheat, and buy Soymeal. Only one has an ETF, and we have one place left in our portfolio for an ETF. The symbols for Crude Oil are CLZ10 and OIL. The track record is 36 wins out of 49 trades for 73%. The other commodities will be tracked via the futures only.

That's all for now; have a good day.
