I have for the most part quit focusing on my holdings here as it is up to the reader to take in ideas from many sources and then make his or her decisions. But given precarious markets of the moment, here is a quick snapshot of what is considered here as a "cautious" stance for the managed portfolios:
Cash (money market & reserve) 46%
SHY (s/t US Treasury bond fund) 11% -- added some today
RYSBX (leveraged strong dollar fund) 5% -- taking profits, likely today
FXY (Yen etf) 11% -- added some today
Gold miners (core) 17% -- add when appropriate (we keep in mind 250-270 potential on HUI)
Oil & Gas trusts (for dividends) 6%
Japan stock market (EWJ etf) 4%
Notice USD cash vehicles are currently 62% and Yen cash adds another 11%. I have given back some gains off the highs but will absolutely NOT give back most of the gains of '07. Each week brings more twittling and tweaking as events dictate but this game is about survival and being ready to capitalize. Patience is needed along with allocation you can sleep with. I can sleep with the above.
Now back to our regularly scheduled TA Blog.
Edit (2:10) RYSBX being closed out. Added to a couple miners on sale. Ya never picks da bottom, but ya buyz when dey's sellin' cheap.
