Any views on a US dollar rally?

OK, thanks.

Was there a commodity newsletter for this weekend? I cant seem to find it if there is.

Libyan government declares an immediate ceasefire.

Complete panic into the close over here in asian markets with Japan announcing radiation has reached Tokyo.

Nikei is down 1200 points!

Gold has broken 1400 again which IMO is a fear trade going on with mass protests in the Middle East and North Africa. Gadafi says he will "fight to the last man" in Libya........fighting words.

My take on this whole thing is that food price inflation brought about by the now rampant money printing is causing social unrest on a grand scale.

Im not sure if anyone will get this under control anytime soon.

No worries, its working for me now, full 28+ minutes.  I Must have had an issue on my end.

The newsletter cut out after 12 minutes, anyone else have this problem?

This cant be right, I dont think Steve has ever stopped talking for less than 30 minutes! 

In a few hours time North Queensland is going to be hit by a catagory 5 (the highest there is) cyclone that is the biggest cyclone in nearly 100 years Australia has seen, winds are expected to be between 300 and 400km an hour and causing tidal surges of up to 7 meters .

Just to give you an idea of how intense this cyclone is,"Cyclone Yasi" is approximately the size of the United States.

Poor Queensland is realy copping a beating from mother nature lately, expect several commodities to be held up again and crops destroyed much like the floods in southern Queensland.

This has the potential to be the worst storm Australia has ever witnessed, I hope any members of BPT in Northern Queensland remain safe through this ordeal.

Its pretty bad over here, over 90 people missing and around 15 people confirmed dead ATM, water is still rising as we speak. 

Luckily i am in NSW so not affected, but wish everyone in Queensland the best of luck in getting through this.

Australians will unite to get through this and help those affected.

Thanks for spending the time to update and explain the changes matt. This is the only thing i am trading ATM on BPT so (again) i truly appreciate you spending the time on the GDX system this weekend.   

I think the reality of the market, after yet another round of money printing from the ECB now, this week, is that this market will be continually propped up going forward as far as the eye can see. 

Its very hard to see where this madness is going to end IMHO.

Thanks for clarification on GDX, i will be flat here as the official rules would mean selling any long basically straight away following the system, which is somewhat pointless IMHO.

The current entry was 57.66 therefore the stop was 61.12, stopped out. The previous trade was also stopped out before the rule change.

Where do you get 58.05 from?

The GDX system is stopped out

News of the Chinese planning to invest in gold ETF's has most likely finished off our shorts here IMO.

I have the current stop on the current GDX short position at 61.13 (6%), any chance of updating the GDX swing system page?

Are we moving the stop from 8% today to 6% on the GDX system, should we do this after the days trade or before open?

Also is there a plan for if its between 6% and 8% at 5 days for future reference?

Cheers, not even close then really! :)
