Holding Fast

to my favourites. It has been scary of late I won't deny. I'm content to think my net worth is in a certain ballpark and I have most of it invested in stocks and therefore I should have a well-funded retirement. Let's see. We're starting to see the downward climactic action that usually signals a new rally is on its way :

PCLN, RIMM
MT, AGU, MA, V, FSLR

V looks set to be a stellar performer in the short term - judging by its relative strength.

That aside, it's recently struck me how unlike the brochure life really is. After all these years on the job, I find I still have so much left to learn. Sure, I could fall into one sort of rut, ignore the politics and the BS and enjoy a sinecure, but folks like me want to do stuff. Make sense?

Another Bitter Pill

But look at the way some of them have held up - (not RIMM:)

RIO, PCU, MT

Possibilities

GBN could be one to think of - micro-cap, technically good. But, gold's going to cool off soon?

MT, RIMM, PCLN all look good - these were some that I got out of in time actually - need to get back in.

What's my strategy to cope with losses from the likes of WB? Simple - if holding for the long term, have your cake and eat it - buy BAC and then - after you buy, maybe the next day, sell WB and claim the loss. This way, no one can have any complaints. Of course, you're taking higher risk on that one day. No question about that.

Brute Strength

MT, RIMM, PCLN, CLB. Catch em young.
