Got requests to put out this month’s trading signals as well, although my model indicates that trading longs on Feb and Mar will not get you STATISTICALLY significant gains. You must use the signals very carefully, i.e., just for short-term trading with tight stops. The following are the longs entered on 2/1/2006.
