- 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 is acting since I took this long position, but I'm in for the long haul - hopefully.
- Silver Futures - Same old story - I expect silver and gold to rally strong towards the end of the year.
My wish list (waiting for an uptrend):
- Sugar
- Cotton
- Swiss Franc
- Japanese Yen
- More silver
- More cowbell

***"Cash out" mostly means taxes, but lately I've also been using it to pay down my credit cards a bit. Why credit card debt? I'm financing a startup and trying to outpace my CC interest rate in the futures markets - kids, don't try this at home.
