Pretty Good Week! -IFCN Wk 47 – Fri- $1,558.01

Not too bad! I thought a number of times that this week might not be so good, but finally the XAG (silver) position helped push up the weekly numbers. There may be more of that in the future too.

Here's last week's Friday recap:

The data below is as of Friday's close, Oct. 31, 2008:

Special Silver long position:
Silver position equity: $80.00
(Current XAG price: $9.80 – 200 unit position average: $9.40)
Weekly total XAG position equity gain: (+$105.00)

WEEK'S TOTAL EQUITY: $1,558.01
Total Gain for Week: $ 129.65
(9.0 % weekly increase)

This was a good week considering the high volatility we've had to deal with. I wouldn't be surprised if we get profits out of most of the remaining FirstStrike Plus trades.

The Las Vegas London Squeeze workshop on Nov. 1st was a great success! All 11 who attended were exceptional people and I've no doubt will be able to improve their trading results. Just in time. The “Magnificent Seven” -the original class who learned the method- have reported strong gains recently. The diversified markets that we're seeing after the plunges have been exploited handily by London Squeeze.

Have a good next week.
