Giant up day, 2nd best in over 2 years An amazing day to say the least. All the end of quarter pumps fell like dominoes. (thank God for inefficiency and greed) BSML and HOMS were the only significant losers for me today.
Btw, notice the non-volatility of my account, slow and steady growth. (EXCEPT FRIDAY and TODAY!!!) 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 losses to 8-10% maximum and most of the time much smaller, based on a full position. Long-term pos shorts I am significantly more lenient towards losses. (proper allocation is a must on these)
