I was sitting on about 95% cash on 12/30. The 5% was
CS call options.

That was a week ago...I started buying on Tuesday :(.
I'm now nearly 100% invested and already down around 18% for the year. I need to go polish my crystal ball :)

<if i may be so bold as to make a suggestion to folks here always keep 40% of your portfolio in cash. every single week of the year there are opportunities for investors with cash. if you use your 40% cash in a buying opportunity then free up some more cash by selling your worst performers. if you can follow that pattern you will dramatically increase your gains in a year.>

That is wise thinking Mr. Mcgeehan...Thank you!
