Gold Plummets Again.......

The BLOG gained ground on our short gold positions.  We exited coffee and natural gas on the open which was lower, so profits were cut.  Heating Oil was stopped out with a maximum loss on the future overnight, invalidating the buy of the ETF.

New Signals: Go SHORT Copper:  Market On Open. Symbols: HGN11 and JJC.   Record: 53 wins out of 62 trades for 82%.  Entry for future was 398.60.  Stop is 406.40.  Market is 400.85 at this time, so the position is losing about $500.  Watch for ETF opening in the morning.  It will be invalidated if the future is stopped out overnight.


Our Active and Closed Out Positions Appear in the Table Below:
