IAU: Sold manually on Tuesday.  Good thing, since gold spent the rest of the week at lower prices.  Too bad I lost all my profit, though.

Still haven’t fixed that SRTY bug when the ETF makes a new low followed by a “buy” signal later the same day.

SRTY: They say that “topping is a process”, meaning that the market spends some time thinking about maybe going down for a change, but keeps turning itself around and going back up — until eventually it doesn’t.  Maybe next week…
