Good day for the BLOG.........

Our new signals made moderate gains today.  While we did get quite a number of new signals for tomorrow, the only ones meeting the BLOG's profit criteria are the two signals shown below.  Their win-ratios happen to be identical @ 85%.

We remain in a long-term bull market for commodities and first-world foreign currencies versus the U.S. Dollar.  This is the trend until proven otherwise.  The U.S. Stock Markets, as represented by the S&P, Russell 2000 and NASDAQ,  are still trying to re-achieve their Year 2000 highs.  Thus, we see them as in a bear-market rally, until proven otherwise.  Bear market rallies are notoriously "fast and furious," which the recent rallies have been.  Could this be a turning point for stocks, commodities and currencies, or is it just a "pause to re-fresh."  The data will tell us.  Hopefully, our algorithms will capture the answer just before it unfolds.  Stand by..................

New Signals:

Go LONG Cotton:  Market On Open.  Symbols: CTN11 and BAL. Record: 85 wins out of 100 trades for 85%.  Same signal as last night.

Go LONG Aussie:  Market On Open.  Symbols: . Record: 85 wins out of 100 trades for 85%. Same signal as last night.  We actually had four different (but related) algorithms registeriing buy signals.
Our Active and Closed Out Positions Appear in the Table Below:



Good luck to all!
