Good news, bad news, new news!

Our new Natural Gas position exploded today.  I liked the signal because I like T. Boone Pickens' plan.  Obama gave it lip service during the campaign, and again at the State of the Union Speech.  However, Pickens said recently on Bloomberg that he is still waiting for Washington to actually do something to replace foreign oil with clean-burning natural gas.  The future gained over $1200 today and the ETF 1.6%.

The Japanese Yen fell out of bed, making our short position very profitable at $2300 of equity or a profit for the ETF of 1.6% as well.

We recorded a big loss in the Copper position for BLOG purposes.  However, please realize that I only update the BLOG periodically.  The true 24-hour per day system recorded a small gain on the future, but because I did not document it quickly enough on the BLOG, I recorded it for history as a loss.

The New News is 4 new signals that have been algorithmically-generated, and they all have excellent historical records.  I can't take them all because our portfolio consists of no more than 5 ETF positions.  The signals are shown in the table below. 

Buy Gold, Platinum, the British Pound and the Swiss Franc.  We will add GLD, the Gold ETF to our ETF portfolio in the BLOG.  For futures, we will track Gold, GCJ12 and British Pound.  All of the statistics follow:
