Another extremely boring day, ended (-$44) LOL ALOY, WEBX and CORV the only 3 stocks that went against me significantly today. I am not really looking to start new positions heading into FOMC meeting, unless something special or very short term. I just dont have a good feel for what will happen post FOMC, but do think we will see 25 bps cut and a selloff.
Btw, notice the non-volatility of my account, slow and 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.
