October 7 Begins with a surge, ends with a decline

I AM CURRENTLY TRAVELING. WHILE I EXPECT POSTS WILL GO UP EVERY DAY, I DO NOT KNOW HOW LATE THEY MAY BE DURING THIS PERIOD. I WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN I HAVE RETURNED AND I AM BACK TO "NORMAL." I APOLOGIZE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE THIS MAY CAUSE.



I'll be quick as I am on the road. There is one new signal to buy soybeans; however, we are already long soy oil and corn, so I will not track this additional signal in the BLOG. Three positions were taken out today, all with profits.

Silver Stop Filled @ 23.18; Oil 82.63; Swiss 104.36
