Second non-profitable day in a row, but pretty tiny once again. DLIA, WEBX, CORV and MRVC were the only 4 stocks that went against me today. I finally through in the towel on MRVC, just too much stress in a terrible sector. Couldnt justify holding both MRVC and CORV long in the same portfolio.
Btw, notice the non-volatility of my account, slow steady growth. Remember this, portfolio preservation should the #1 goal of every investor. Risk and money management can never be stressed enough.

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.
