FirstStrike Plus Is on a Roll! -- IFCN Wk 52 –Wed- Equity: $1,568.34

As the currencies have little strength this week, the short Sterling, and Sterling/Yen trades are doing quite well. Amazingly the short Usd/Jpy and short Usd/Chf are doing ok too. As this group of specific trades rarely profit at the same time, it will be interesting to see which, if any, remain profitable by the beginning of next week.

While the FirstStrike trades increased in value, the XAG dropped in value somewhat. Still, we had a little gain today.

There is a lot of hand-wringing going on the TV financial shows. Nassim Taleb was on the “Charlie Rose” show tonight. He was not at all positive about the world's stock markets recovering after the severe drops endured. But at the same time he believes incredible inflation will take place. Very interesting!

The fact that there is so much doom and gloom predicted may, all by itself, stem a lot of the feared reactions. The idea that corrections should and already do take a lot less time than they used to-- was also discussed by Taleb.

Either way, we are living in interesting times and will likely have the chance to continue profiting from the indecision of the masses. But not if you don't take the trades.
