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

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.
