the portfolio is no longer on line ... now dominated by illiquid private equity in controlled-operating business; haven't had time to separate out the publicly traded stuff in separate automatic updated spreadsheet, but ...

29% cash (14.8% USD/HKD, 7% CAD, rest CHF, YEN, THB)
7% physical PM
2% bonds
19% real estate (Japan/HK/Thailand)
43% equity (31% private equity, 11% energy, 1% mining (Aflease, Harmony), 2% this & that longs (i.e. GLD) balanced off by 2% this & that shorts (i.e. housing, subprime, goog)

The private equity took down a distressed business, and will soon enough net an additional asset loot, boosting operating company's distressed value by 43% at highly/ridiculously conservative valuation, ought to breakeven by start of 2006, and could go up in value by .... 30-50 folds by current public proxies ... this is my "all or nothing" bet.

In any case, the PF tally is no longer meaningful.
