America’s Commodity Crisis – 2010 Edition 

By Phil 

Ouch!

We did not expect to break higher this week.  After a stellar week last week where we had 49 winners in 56 trades, I’m dreading this week’s review as I really feel like my picks were too bearish overall.  Of course, the bulk of our trading is in bullish long-term positions that are doing very well but that doesn’t mean I don’t like to win the short game as well.  As I said at the close of last week’s review: ”I’ll be in a foul mood if we have a commodity rally that moves the Dow up on Monday but it will be my own fault – as I often say to members – CASH is so much more flexible!“  And you know what – we did have a commodity rally and I AM in a foul mood!
