Symbols are TUK-FA and TUK-FB, portfolio tracker does not recognize options. (will calculate this manually when I close the position)

It was a good day, but nothing spectacular.
Actually a bit disappointed, considering the market selloff and being 2 to 1 short.
ELBO was a major disappointment, as I closed the short position with a tiny loss.
I just dont understand why they didnt selloff, but I didnt feel like fighting ELBO any further

Profit of $20,398 or 1.26% for the day.

Loss of ($552) or 0.00% for the week.

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.

Many Happy Returns
Michail
