A mix is the best plan IMO with an emphasis on proven reserves. Its great to allocate a certain percentage of your portfolio to junior explorers for their potential large gains.

I personally though feel that the junior market is pricey and would lean more toward proven reserves and leveraged producers. I have made no changes to my portfolio in 3 weeks other than trading a few here and there and lowering my cost a bit.

Obviosly I am perhaps a bit more conservative than others here in the way that I have more allocated to larger producers but I am also aggressive in that I am 100% in gold stocks in RRSP accts. I have two gold mutual funds which I feel help diversify me into some juniors and other producers as well.

My holdings by % as of todays acct update.

AZS 4.73%
G 17.03%
K 12.02%
NSU 39.41%
PDG 10.95%
__________
84.17%

Altamira Precious and Strategic Metal Fund 8.14%
CIBC Precious Metals Fund 6.96%
______
15.10%

Cash 0.73%

I know I have a large % in NSU but it keeps on going up I can't help it <GG> What I have left is actually half my original position and I have traded it recently to lower my cost even further.

For the most part I own very liquid stocks right now other than AZS which I don't plan on selling for a while. NSU is actually a fairly liquid stock. I like liquidity incase I have to bail. The mutuals are easy enough to sell.

Since the gold shakeout 3 Fridays ago my acct has risen 28%. Would love to hear how that compares to the performance of others on the thread who have different allocations.


Just so I don't get sued by anyone <GG> I will once again declare that I am just a crazy goldbug with charting abilities, and nobody should take this as advice, just me stating what I own. Further I may blow out any or all of these on a moments notice and or take positions in different securities.
