Friday Sees Gains in Coffee, Cocoa, and Silver.........

We took a quick profit in Silver, and continue to make money on our Cocoa and Coffee positions.  The portfolio is looking good!  We have some exciting new algorithmic signals for Monday:

Buy Crude Oil, Buy Natural Gas, and Buy Soymeal.  Note that recently, Natural Gas and Crude Oil have not been moving in tandem.  Oil has been strong; Gas has been weak.  For the record:

Go LONG Crude Oil: Market On Open.  Symbols: CLM11 and OIL.  Record: 41 wins out of 55 trades for 75%.   Note that the futures contract has already rolled over.

Go LONG Natural Gas: Market On Open.  Symbols: NGK11 and UNG.  Record: 139 wins out of 175 trades for 79%.  The May futures contract will "roll over" to June soon.

 
Go LONG Soymeal: Market On Open. Symbol:  SMK11.  There is not yet an ETF for Soymeal.  Record: 52 wins out of 71 trades for 73%.
