Calm Week Preserves Capital!-- IFCN Wk 50 – Fri- Equity: $1,504.39

This was a turnaround day for many markets. Not many of the ones we were in - maybe XAG (silver). We have had so many apparent turnarounds in silver that we will have to see $11/oz or greater to have that confidence.

The swings in stocks and other capital makets this week caused many great losses. Due to our volatility adjusted stance, we have weathered the recent storms quite well.

This isn't a time to get smug, as prudence is always better than being overconfident. The coming week does hold great potential since the weekly ranges and momentum indicate the possibility of increased profits.

I'm always willing to reap benefit from market confusion.
