Very nice profitable day as I closed just below the all time high. WEBX, STEM and PHTN were the only significant losers today.
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 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)
