“Accomplishments will prove to be a journey, not a destination.” -Dwight D. Eisenhower-

Saturday August 25, 2012

8:00 PM South Florida Beach Time

The Forex markets remain a Trading affair, Sell Rallies in Aussie Dollar and Canadian Dollars… Gold made its all time highs during late August and Early September of last year and is worth watching to see if it follows thru on the upside or it begins to stall… Crude can remain firm into Mid-September where Crude can exceed the highs of August. Soybeans and Corn tend to dip a bit during September. Coffee remains a trading affair however coffee tends to act rather well all the way into year end once it passes through September weakness… The Hog market offers good spreading opportunities; in addition Buying Feb Hogs in the last week of August and exiting into the later part of the second week of Sept tends to make money. Sell Rallies in October and Dec Hogs and buy dips in February and April…

Traders should stay tuned for updates and Flashes
