Hmmm.

Consistent buyer of Intel starting over a decade and a half ago.
Consistent buyer of XON starting over a decade and a half ago.
Consistent buyer of CPQ starting over a decade ago.
Consistent buyer of FTR starting over over a decade ago.

The above comprises roughly 75% of my portfolio.

Roughly 15% is in bonds and cash.

The other 10% is my "fun" trading portfolio. Let's look at the record...

The following you may verify by checking past posts on SI....

Bought ADSK recently at 30 now 44.
Bought COO recently at 12 now 43.
Shorted ZITL starting at 50 multiple times all the way to the current 14.
Shorted TRBO at 18 now 9.
Shorted AVNT starting at 34 multiple times all the way to the current 14.
Shorted ZONA starting at 31 multiple times all the way to the current 19.
Shorted DDIM starting at 34 up through 41 multiple times all the way to the current 12.

I started some new short positions as described in my "profits of doom" thread (nothing interesting to report yet in either direction). I also traded a few other tiny positions short and long...nothing spectacular profit or loss wise.

Biggest losers to date:

1) Yahoo. I continue to be short/average up and sell puts.
2) ATHM. I continue to be short/average up and sell puts.
3) ACLY. I am almost breaking even. Expect the stock to fall into the single digits.
4) AOL - shorted in the 80's and covered at 96.

Bet you that I will eventually end up deep in the money on both ATHM and YHOO.
