At 9 1/2 months, "bounce" finally bounces through the +80% barrier. Seemed like we were stuck in the mid 70s forever.......

However, disclaimer, disclaimer......... please remember that, somewhere back in foggy history, I bought some stuff (text in this thread) and never added it to the portfolio. I think that some of it was GLIA, perhaps at around 27?? So, we may actually be below 80%. Here's how von Emster (down 8% for the last year) et al. are doing........

Just a tad of a difference..... down 8% for the past year versus up 80% in the 8 plus months since "bounce" was established. Even T/FIF, down in dead money land, is up 25% in ten plus months......

T/FIF was down about 30% right out of the blocks, as third tier collapsed just after the portfolio was established. As a matter of fact, third tier became about fifth tier.

Opinions sought..... should I sell SUGN out of the portfolio and redeploy, or wait for the guaranteed smidge?
Oh, yeah, forgot.... same disclaimer for T/FIF.... I may have indicated changes to the portfolio during the brief period that I failed to edit.
