ALLOCATION DISCLOSURE: Cash 45.5% (32% Euro, 23% USD, 19% AUD, 6% CHF, 15% HKD, CAN 5%) Physical & paper metals 6% (>75% gold vs. platinum) Bonds 21.5% (91% USD, 9% Euro, valued at lower of cost and market) Rental Real Estate 21% (valued at cost)

The above noted South African resource shares are in their ADR and regular flavors. My MS Money morgue contains these residual shares that qualify me to receiving annual reports from AIG, INTC, MRK, MSFT, PFE, QCOM, WMT, and in HK equity morgue - Phoenix Satellite TV.
I have these internally not altogether consistent option positions: Short SWC Oct Call 20 covered Short HGMCY Nov Call 15 covered Short NEM Dec Put 25 Short NEM Dec Put 20 Short CMCSK January Put 12.5 Short VZ January Put 25 Short BP January Put 40 Short HGMCY February Put 10 Short FCX February Put 10 Short AOL January Call 10 covered Short CD January Call 12.5 Short CD January Put 10
I do not have debt, and NAV YTD appreciation is now @ 4.88%, and am no longer on track to what would be a fantasy 8% for 2002. This tally to date is conservative, based on always valuing the bonds and real estate at lower of cost and market.
