>> So your investment style is 'invest' in technology value plays, and trade the dickens out of anything else? (Just trying to understand your style here.) Can I ask what percentage of your portfolio you devote to trading vs. investing? << My trading acct is under 5% of tot portfolio. At the moment I am still in the learning phase. I proclaimed to my wife that I "learned my lesson" with shorting losses, and to prove it I was going to recover by trading like mad. So far it is working very well. But to guard from the trap of "bull market makes people think they are genius", I closed an account that quintupled in a few months, and started again with a tiny acct with the goal of making 10x in a year. So far it is 3x in 3 months. If this second time works, then I will devote more time and a larger account to trading.
