Today started out bad and kept getting worse through out the day as the NAZ rallied and ended on the highs at a critical 2300 level. Very tough environment for shorting right now. Also, just cant find longs that dont appear overvalued. Really want to balance my portfolio much more.
Loss of ($33,241) or 2.03% for the day.

The link above mirrors my personal portfolio exactly. On April 28, 2001 the portfolio was valued at 1.5 million A full position represents 6% of portfolio or $100,000 At the end of each month, I dollar cost average 1/2 my profits into value mutual funds. The portfolio is managed like a hedge fund. (a mix of value longs and overextended, overvalued shorts) I try to limit my loses to 8-10% maximum and most of the time much smaller, based on a full position.
