Notes:
- Positions are as of the morning of July 14, 2008. Numbers may exceed 100% due to leveraged trades or may not equal 100% due to rounding.
- Returns are not adjusted for leveraged positions. In other words, these are the actual returns in my accounts, except for the Japanese/Asian equities trade (see note below).
* Japanese/Asian equities profit is based on the Nikkei's return since the beginning of this signal.
