There is one new signal for tomorrow: buy the New Zealand Dollar. Symbols are NE1U10 and BNZ. Track record: 27 wins out of 34 trades for an historical win-ratio of 79%. Remember, all we do is play the odds. Some signals will be bad; most will be good. How do I feel about the dollar right now vis-a-vis other foreign currencies. Answer: they all have their political and economic problems; I'll just stick with statistics and not my feelings.......

Good luck!
