John,

The present rally has been one of the most irrational that I have ever seen. NASDAQ had a 150 point swing (6.5%) day today and nobody seems to care. This is pure liquidity talking. Brazil may or may not be material by itself, but the apparent ease with which it is ignored/discarded sure is in my eyes. Market psychology may have switched from depressive to manic and the Fed may ease again and/or organize a Mexico style bailout so that the jolly days continue. But I have made close to 500% from October to date in the trading portion of my account (which started as 10% of my portfolio) in addition to 100+% in the long term hold portion so I strongly feel that it is prudent to hedge. Still holding onto all the long term options that I have as well as tiny bits of Feb options. But no margin anymore and 50% cash. Maybe I am wrong. But the present euphoria invalidates all that I have learnt abut rational markets.
