Chris, my short positions are insurance for a % of my portfolio. Granted I have over this last week been selling off some of my general portfolio. But overall I have been in a net long position. IMHO I have a short presence because I do not believe the general market has any "event" discount priced into it. And I believe that there is always some "event" risk and currently more than normal.

But you bring up an issue that I recently am having difficultly grasping. You said you hold NXG for insurance but also because it is undervalued. Maybe it is just me but lately when the general market drops my PM stocks also drop. Maybe this is because when the dollar rises the market has been dropping and so gold also. But I am beginning to question whether PMs are a hedge for a general market drop. Comments??
