80% cash for EVERYTHING?
or just your trading account?
So I'm sitting with 80 % cash and now playing Cohu @ 2.6% Brks at 4.4 % and CY at 6.0 + %..
Thanks for sharing.

BTW, Do you benchmark yourself against just buy and hold say 60% in SPY or VTI and 40% in Total Bond or cash earning interest?

I see so many traders advertising this or that service... one E-Waver on Seeking Alpha is getting a HUGE monthly fee for what he says are 3,000 subscribers and yet he won't publish a simple record of how starting with $10K of real money and just traded with SPY does vs buy and hold.... If he has 3,000 people picking patterns out of clouds (my interpretation of most ewave) and you are bound to get 10 or 20 who do really well and write rave reviews with how they trade the daily, hourly or even more updates.... The model has worked to keep Cramer on TV and selling subscriptions even though I have hard evidence his portfolio under performed the buy and hold....
