Currently holding the majority of my portfolio in money market. However I am starting to add some positions with moderation. For the most part being small and nimble let the prices come to you!
Cash is King when the bears are hunting.



What a market meltdown. Even in these troubled times stick with me to make big bucks
We are now experiencing a Sideways Market - very difficult to navigate through even for the so called pros!

I was up quite a bit but then gave some gains back on current holdings. However, I am clearly still beating the market.
up 5% YTD still mostly in cash even while the dollar weakens although i have some gold and oil in the portflio




Here is a sample of some of my holdings note I do not indicate the size some of which are very tiny others can be quite large.

My portfolio is juiced up and ready to fly once again. I am looking to get back on track and outperform the market on a risk adjusted basis once again. Email me if you have any questions or comments!

A. If you are standing in line on Black
Friday watch out for pickpockets
disguised as shoppers.Also CNN Money has
a bias against people running their own
investment portfolio.They think you
should be only in mutual or index
funds.If you need a good laugh pick up a
copy of Money Magazine for a lesson in
Economic Propaganda.
