Im sure you are doing great but my philosophy has been to focus on gold and silver, with a lot of energy too. most of the gold and silver juniors have not done well for the past 2 years despite the surges in the prices of gold and silver. I believe that this was primarily due to deleveraging of the hedge funds that invested in those junior mining companies. I continue to be patient. my ira portfolios which contain the bulk of those shares declined 61% in 2008 and were up over 60% in 2009 but are still way down from 12/31/08. I would like to have more of my portfolio in high yielding instruments but I believe that the oil and gas mlps offer more long term protection than the reit preferreds although 12% is pretty good. and it may be quite awhile before we have real inflation as there is so much capacity world wide except in energy.
