A contemplation on my trades from the week that was: Shorted the British Pound (again) – Roll over, Sterling! The trend is my friend, the trend is my friend, the trend…bad economic data keeps on coming from the UK. This move was long overdue. Went long Coffee – I absolutely DON’T like the way coffee […]
A review of trades from the week that was: Covered my Soybean Short – beans rallied, along with the rest of the grains. Closed this out at a loss. And a good thing too – the grains markets continue to rally strong, even into the Asian session this evening. I can’t make heads or tails […]
