Hi Selva, I do not know about timing of prices and such, but here is what I did recently: Message 17586221 Message 17591561 Message 17596706 Message 17622109 I had cancelled all legacy annual report subscriptions, sold off residual garbage scripts, and added a bit of mullah to buy the mining shares and some oil shares (BP, RD). Even so, my stock allocation is still at 5.91%, vs physical gold and platinum of 6.09% vs cash of 45.03% (33% USD, 67% non-USD) and bonds of 21.11% (91% USD, 9% Euro), and real estate for the rest.

Chugs, Jay P.S. FYI, I am starting to do this ... Message 17600989
