ON THIS MONTH'S CTCR INDEX | |
Futures
advisory services gained ground and are now down 6% on the year. Most advisors
did not have either big winning or losing months. Most advisors simply treaded
water in May.
The biggest gainer over the last month was Trade Winds who
cut their losses from -100% to -47%. The other winners for the month were relatively
modest gainers. Commodity Timing went from 43% to 53% positive. Scale Trader has
shifted their trading strategy and has gained some money back. They were down
188% last month but are down "only" 161% now. It will be interesting to see if
they can dig themselves out of their hole with the new approach. My bet is that
they will do better. Another big gainer was Marketline Update. They had been down
88% but gained some ground and are now down 59%.
As always, some advisors
slipped. The biggest loser of the month was Power of Twelve. They had been up
31% but slipped into the red by 17%. CIS Price Perceptions lost some money and
slipped from a gain of 64% to a gain of 41%. Futures Factors dropped some money
from a loss of 24% to a loss of 43%. |
