BIG Day for the BLOG
Yesterday, we communicated a buy signal for the Russell 2000 small-cap stock index. Today, the index rose a whopping 3.4%. This was the biggest rise for any of the computer-monitored investments we track.
PORTFOLIO SYMBOL ENTRY CLOSE STOP PROFIT DAYS
Long Soymeal SMZ10 267.50 282.30 274.10 $1,480 24
Long British BPU10 152.87 152.57 151.19 -$188 4
Long British FXB 151.81 151.98 150.61 0.1% 4
Long Russell TFU10 611.30 632.00 616.30 $2,070 1
Long Russell IWM 62.18 63.42 61.84 2.0% 1
The ETF gapped up, so it didn't get the full rise of the Russell. However, the future captured it all.
We have three intriguing new signals for tomorrow: buy silver and buy copper.
For silver the symbols are SIU10 and SLV. The statistical data are 54 wins out of 70 trades for 77%.
For copper the symbols are HGU10 and JJC. The statistics are 97 wins out of 149 trades for 65%.
It is interesting to see that we went from no positions to possibly four open positions--our limit is five.
Good luck!

ALL MARKETS DOWN; BLOG OUT; BUT WAIT UNTIL MONDAY
The Russell 2000 small cap index was down 3.6% on Friday. Gold was down over 1%. Copper was down almost 3%. The BLOG was on the sidelines, except for a winning position in grains. However, look out on Monday!
Our portfolio (no ETFs right now)
PORTFOLIO SYMBOL ENTRY CLOSE STOP PROFIT DAYS
Long Soymeal SMZ10 267.50 289.50 272.50 $2,200 19
Not a bad position. And we exited with a profit:
CLOSED OUT SYMBOL ENTRY OUT PROFIT DAYS
Long Zealand NE1U10 70.70 71.34 $640 5
Long Zealand BNZ 22.36 22.71 1.6% 5
However, we have lots of signals for Monday; some of which seem rather scary and/or controversial.
First the signals, then some commentary:
Sell short the Canadian Dollar, symbols CDU10 and FXC (short the ETF). The record historically is 6 wins out of 6 losses.
Buy the British Pound, symbols BPU10 and FXB (short the ETF). The record is 67 wins out of 97 trades for 70%. This trade has a very shallow initial stop.
Buy Natural Gas, symbols NGU10 and UNG. The record is 24 wins out of 28 trades for 86%.
Sell short the NASDAQ, symbols NQU10 and QQQQ (short the ETF). The record is 3 wins out of 3 trades for 100%.
Comments:
1. Two of the trades are not that credible
2. Lately, the Euro and British Pound have actually been going up after having been "beat up" all year.
3. Usually, all four investments are positively correlated, thus, 2 long signals and 2 short signals are kind of "hedged."
4. Take a look at a chart of the stock markets; they look very bearish from a technical standpoint.

BLOGGERS and ERRORS
Today, defined as beginning last night overseas, saw most markets initially lower, then tremendously higher at the close. The Russell 2000, which represents 2000 small-capitalization stocks, rose 3.5% from yesterday's close. This is a tremendous one-day move.
First, here are the positions that were closed out:
CLOSED OUT SYMBOL ENTRY OUT PROFIT DAYS
Short Euro ECU10 126.40 126.05 $438 2
Short Euro FXE 125.23 125.55 -0.3% 2
Long Corn CZ10 382.75 387.00 $213 12
Long Corn CORN 26.52 26.61 0.3% 12
We are showing what the Corn ETF would have gained if you had known about it when we published our buy signal. As noted previously in the BLOG, a reader pointed out that this new ETF opened for trading in June.
Secondly, the Euro Currency triggered a buy-stop intra-day. As you may know, my computer signals are generated and changed throughout the trading day. Someday, we may offer the facility to send signals to readers intra-day.
Here is the current portfolio:
PORTFOLIO SYMBOL ENTRY CLOSE STOP PROFIT DAYS
Long Soymeal SMZ10 267.50 276.90 270.60 $940 15
Long Zealand NE1U10 70.70 71.70 71.03 $1,000 2

Long Gold GCQ10 1200.00 1211.30 1207.60 $1,130 1
Long Gold GLD ? 118.36 118.00 1
Just one comment, "BLOGGERS can make ERRORS." I had been waiting for a buy gold signal for weeks, and ran my programs before the final gold data posted. As a result, I missed a buy signal last night. I am showing us long gold at tonight's opening price. This will not agree with the computer-generated entry, but I list the gold because it is something that many readers follow assiduously. Shown below is what should have occurred:
Long Gold GCQ10 1197.70 1211.30 1207.60 $1,360 1
Long Gold GLD 118.98 118.36 118.00 -0.5% 1
Note: you would be up on the futures and down on the ETF. The reason, as usual, is because of timing differences. The question mark above will be filled-in with tomorrow morning's opening price of GLD, unless the future is stopped out overnight.
Finally, as you may know, we were stopped out of the Russell 2000 on a trailing stop yesterday, but I pointed out that there was a new "confirming" buy signal on the index future. I actually stayed in the position today (something I am quite happy about) and in case some of you are following the ETF, IWM, I post those results below.
Long Russell TFU10 624.20 644.40 627.90 $2,020 1
Long Russell IWM 63.08 64.20 62.56 1.8% 1
For fairness in tracking the BLOG's performance, I will not use these Russell numbers in the return for the BLOG. However, because I am still following the second signal generated, I will continue to publish the stops for this signal.
I hope I haven't totally confused you tonight. However, the numbers are what they are. If you have questions, please feel free to contact me via a BLOG comment, or an email at the address below.
Oh, and if you don't count gold (see above), there are no new signals for tomorrow.

Some Significant New Signals for Next Week!
Friday was a good day for the BLOG, with our new and existing positions mostly moving upward. The results are shown below:
PORTFOLIO SYMBOL ENTRY CLOSE STOP PROFIT DAYS
Long Soymeal SMZ10 267.50 279.20 270.60 $1,170 12
Long Corn CZ10 382.75 395.25 387.00 $625 9
Long Canadian CDU10 95.75 96.67 96.27 $920 2
Long Canadian FXC 95.60 96.24 95.84 0.7% 3
Long Russell TFU10 618.30 625.60 620.20 $730 2
Long Russell IWM 61.98 62.94 62.40 1.5% 2
Technically, yesterday's Heating Oil signal was stopped out intra-day, and the ETF goes into the weekend ahead of the game. We have another signal to buy Heating Oil for tomorrow. If you need to track the new signal, let know.
CLOSED OUT SYMBOL ENTRY OUT PROFIT DAYS
Buy Heating Oil HOJ10 201.50 203.32 $764 1
Buy Heating Oil UHN 25.07 25.23 0.6% 1
I will not officially follow Heating Oil in the BLOG, since I have another new signal to buy Crude Oil tomorrow. The record on Crude is 34 wins out of 45 trades for a win-ratio of 76%. Note also, that the ETF is OIL, and it traded over 300,000 shares on Friday. It is very liquid, excuse the pun.
I have another confirming signal to buy the Russell 2000. Its record is 18 wins for 18 trades for 100%. However, we will not follow this signal since we are already long the Russell. The new signal simply serves as "positive reinforcement."
Finally, we have some very interesting currency signals. Note, we have already "locked in" profits on the Canadian via our stop point. We have three new signals:
Buy the New Zealand Dollar: symbols BNZ ETF, and NE1U10 future. Record: 26 wins out of 33 trades for a win-ratio of 79%
Sell Short the British Pound: symbols FXB (a long ETF to short), and BPU10 future. Record: 7 wins out of 7 trades for a win-ratio of 100%. However, a deep initial stop.
Sell Short the Euro Currency: symbols FXE (a long ETF to short), and ECU10 future. Record: 7 wins out of 8 trades for a win-ratio of 88%. Note also that EUO is already short, but it is double-short the Euro so is more risky.
Under most circumstances, the New Zealand and the Euro would move in the same direction. However, logically it is possible that they might move in opposite directions based upon the fundamentals of their economies. They are sort of "hedged" positions.
Finally, note that we have been out of the precious metals for now, and happy about that. However, we patiently wait for our computer systems to give us something.
We are only going to follow 2 of these three signals in the BLOG: the New Zealand and the Euro. This is because the British Pound and Euro are highly positively correlated.

Stock Markets Up Again
The Russell 2000 rose 1.1% today. The grains were even bigger winners. Boy, am I sorry we didn't go long soybeans and the Aussie. However, we felt that we already had enough risk of that type.
The Canadian Dollar, our new signal, was stopped out overnight. However, we have a fresh signal to buy again tonight. Thus, we will continue to track the ETF from today, and the new futures signal as well. The new signal is 36 wins out of 36 trades for 100%.
Here is the portfolio, and the closed out postion too.

We have two exciting new signals for tomorrow: buy Heating Oil and buy the Russell 2000. Hang on to your seats!
The record on the Russell system is 22 wins out of 22 trades for 100%. The stop is deep at 4.4%, so be careful. The symbols are ETF IWM, and future TFU10.
The record on the Heating Oil system is 51 wins out of 62 trades for 82%. The stop is only 2.4%. The ETF is UHN, which is extremely thinly traded, so be careful! The future symbol is HOQ10.
These are signals that are "out there," in my opinion. Any comments would be appreciated.
Have a great day!

Stocks and Grains Rally Big-Time
The Russell 2000 broad-based index was up 3.7% today! Corn was up 2.6%, and the other grains were up strongly, too.
Our longest-running position, short the S&P 500, was stopped out long before the spectacular close. We made good gains on this computer-generated position. While we are not yet long the stock indices, this exit may mean that the devasting decline is over. We'll see.
Our grain positions gained, but only in the futures positions, since there are no corresponding ETFs for the individual grains.
Here are the actual statistics:
PORTFOLIO SYMBOL ENTRY CLOSE STOP PROFIT DAYS
Long Soymeal SMZ10 267.50 271.50 255.50 $400 9
Long Corn CZ10 382.75 388.75 372.75 $300 6
CLOSED OUT SYMBOL ENTRY OUT PROFIT DAYS
Long Copper HGU10 296.45 297 $138 1
Short Lumber LBU10 206.00 213.80 -$858 1
Short S&P ESU10 1110.50 1042.75 $3,388 16
Short S&P SH 50.17 53.43 6.5% 16
We were stopped out of Copper with a very small gain, and stopped out of Lumber for a loss. The S&P position made 6.5% over 16 calendar days, which is over 1% for the portfolio.
We have three new signals for tomorrow: buy the Aussie Dollar, buy the Canadian Dollar, and buy Soybeans.
For BLOG purposes, we'll ignore the Soybeans signal since we are already long Soymeal. The record on the Canadian Dollar is 36 wins out of 39 trades for 92%. We'll ignore the Aussie signal because its statistics are not as good, and because of the currency contagion risk. The symbols on the Canadian Dollar are CDU10 for the futures and FXC for the ETF. Yes, that means we'll probably have an ETF position again.
Good luck to all!

S&P Up
The S&P was down 10 points during the evening, up 26 points intra-day, then closed up 12. We are still short the market, and up 9.8%. We were stopped out of two positions today: Cotton at a loss and the Swiss Franc for a gain. Here are our positions:
PORTFOLIO SYMBOL ENTRY CLOSE STOP PROFIT DAYS
Short S&P ESU10 1110.50 1024.20 1042.75 $4,315 15
Short S&P SH 50.17 55.09 53.43 9.8% 15
Long Soymeal SMZ10 267.50 262.40 255.50 -$510 8
Long Corn CZ10 382.75 379.25 255.50 -$175 5
Note that there are no ETFs for Soymeal and Corn.
Closed Out Symbol Entry Out Profit Days
Long Swiss SFU10 92.58 94.06 $1,850 9
Long Swiss FXF 91.81 93.45 1.8% 9
Long Cotton CTZ10 79.31 74.71 -$2,300 26
Long Cotton BAL 38.51 36.78 -4.5% 26
This evening we got two computer-generated futures signals: buy Copper and sell short Lumber. Both of these commodities are construction-based, so on the surface they are diametrically-opposed. However, the Copper was stopped out with a small gain overnight. Therefore, all that is remaining is the short Lumber. Its record is 42 wins out of 53 trades for 79%. There is currently no ETF for Lumber that I know of.
Thanks for your support; it is very much appreciated.
One correction to an earlier BLOG Post: we have been read in every continent except Antarctica.

Most Markets Closed for the Fourth of July
Only the currency markets traded today, as most markets were closed for the holiday.
Our portfolio remains unchanged with one exception: exit the Swiss Franc.
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday.

Good Afternoon!
Thanks to all of your for your support of the BLOG. We welcome emails/comments at any time.
Our intra-day update saw us getting out of the Short New Zealand futures position before an ETF trade became relevant.
Closed Positions Symbol Entry Out Profit Days
Short Zealand NE1U10 68.12 67.77 $350 1
The Swiss Franc rallied because of a "flight to quality," and our portfolio benefited.
PORTFOLIO SYMBOL ENTRY CLOSE STOP PROFIT DAYS
Long Cotton CTZ10 79.31 76.45 74.71 -$1,430 21
Long Cotton BAL 38.51 37.08 36.24 -3.7% 21
Short S&P ESU10 1110.50 1021.75 1093.75 $4,438 10
Short S&P SH 50.17 55.15 50.94 9.9% 10
Long Soymeal SMZ10 267.50 261.40 255.50 -$610 3
Long Swiss SFU10 92.58 94.31 93.47 $2,163 4
Long Swiss FXF 91.81 93.81 92.97 2.2% 4
We have but one new signal for tomorrow: buy Corn. The track record is merely 9 wins out of 13 trades for a mere 69%. The symbol is CZ10 for futures; there is no ETF that I know of. Sorry. The system has a tight initial stop of 372.6.
Good luck to everyone! See you tomorrow!
