BLOG for Tuesday

It is late Tuesday night, and we are finally at the computer. We have been stopped out of the following positions, mostly with gains:

The Fed summit prompted a flight to Treasuries, the Japanese Yen, and the Swiss Franc. Gold, even on the down days, is remaining relatively strong.

The exit of Platinum actually occurred in this evening's session, before I did this BLOG. The open positions below reflect Monday's close.
