<May I ask, what asset classes comprise the remainder of your investment portfolio? Do you hold a substantial cash position at present?>

10% in Gold Mining (via Fidelity Sector Gold Fund)
15% In Dr. Hussman's 2 Funds, Strategic Growth (11.25%) and Total Return (3.75%). (Strategic Growth is a Semi-Hedge Fund with a Mid-Cap bias)
10% in Aegis Value (Symbol: AVALX). (A real Small cap value fund, currently with a 54% cash position.)

I'm 65% in cash. "Cash is King" in a Bear Market. And this is a secular bear market. My goal or objective is very simple: No major losses, since the Bear is vicious, cunning and above all, destroys wealth.

I'm usually not free during the day to trade or monitor my investments, so I can only trust my hard earned money with astute pragmatic Permabear fund managers.

At one point in 2000, I had most of my portfolio in the Gold Mining Sector. It eventually turned out quite profitable, but I had problems sleeping at night.

I love Gold but I don't want it in my dreams at night.
