The Bull$eye Commodity Trader Newsletter(tm) track record and summary. ===================================================================== You should know that I no longer track my newsletter's performance. I believe that documenting the results of 25 months of weekly issues is enough to convey strong evidence of this newsletter's tremendous value. [initial stop-loss in square brackets] [for "-$" positions, initial stop-loss is also exit value] TRADE AUDIT SUMMARY: ------------------- 2009 Newsletter Summary: ----------------------- Feb: 23 exit long silver from 144200 at 107225 [86500] $ 18,487 MONTHLY PROFIT/LOSS: ............. $ 18,487 End of month Account Balance: .... $131,336 ** 2008 Newsletter Summary: ----------------------- Dec: 19 exit short us dollar indx from 8087 at 8530 [8980] $ 4,430 Dec: 19 exit long swiss franc from 9342 at 8420 [8170] $ 11,525 Dec: 17 exit long cocoa from 2602 at 2230 [1900] $ 3,720 Dec: 17 exit long gold from 86000 at 78025 [68775] $ 7,975 MONTHLY PROFIT/LOSS: ............. $ 27,650 End of month Account Balance: .... $112,849 ** (above TRADE AUDIT SUMMARY commences with 2008 trades & slightly revised reporting) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ During this span of time, the newsletter was not available because of the following: 1. CRB merged with Commodity Price Charts and published indicators with different timeframes. This required extensive testing to successfully confirm that using these indicators in the revised timeframes would produce profit. 2. I got involved in building our new home. I was also the project manager for this construction project and it consumed more time than I had anticipated to make sure that I got the home that I was expecting.
