Three New Signals for Thursday.........

The presentation tonight at California State University was awesome, mostly because of the multitude of questions from the inquisitive students. The future of our country is full of promise, so long as our educational system leads the way. Thanks again to Dr. Prakash Dheeriya for his gracious hospitality.

Our stops on British Pound, Crude Oil and Gold have locked in some unrealized profits. See the Table below for details. In addition, we have three new algorithmically-generated signals.

New Signals:

Go LONG Silver, market on open: Symbols: SIK11 and SLV. Record: 59 wins out of 72 trades for 82%. Initial Stop: about $2000 for futures and 1.1% for ETF.

Go LONG Cotton, market on open: Symbols: CTK11 and BAL. Record: 81 wins out of 95 trades for 85%. Initial Stop: about $2300 for futures and 2.3% for ETF.

Go LONG Cocoa, market on open: Symbols: CCK11 and NIB.Record: 323 wins out of 398 trades for 81%. Initial Stop: about $1900 for futures and 5.8% for ETF. This percentage goes beyond the BLOG's risk tolerance; therefore, we will not follow this ETF trade in the BLOG. We will instead follow only the future. This works out well, since we already have three ETF positions, so Cotton and Silver will bring us to our full 5 ETF positions.

The silver signal is scary because silver has had such a steep run-up; the cotton signal looks good, but the cocoa is scary because it has been in a fierce downtrend. In any event, good luck!
