Virtually All Active Positions Are Profitable.........3 New Signals!!!

The portfolio is shown below.  All positions are up, except for short Corn Futures.  CORN ETF is up!

New Signals  (people on the free mailing list were notified earlier):

Go LONG Silver:  Market On Open.  Symbols: SIK11 and SLV.  Record: 62 wins out of 78 trades for 80%.  Futures entry price:  43.965 with current stop @ 44.035.  Current price at this very moment:  44.260.  If futures stopped out overnight, ETF signal will be invalidated.  

Go LONG Soybeans: Market On Open. Symbols: SN11 and no ETF.  Record: 86 wins out of 109 trades for 79%.  Initial Stop:  Futures entry price:  1353 with current stop at 1324.  Current price at this time:  1360.25. 

Go SHORT the New Zealand Dollar: Market On Open. Symbols: NEM11 and BNZ.  Record: 80 wins out of 95 trades for 85%.  Futures entry price:  78.58 with current stop at 79.78.  Current price:  79.08.  This signal is particularly difficult to swallow since the New Zealand Dollar has been rallying viciously for quite some time.



Sorry about the late Posting, but a Doctor's Appointment in Santa Monica precluded me from doing this earlier.
