Hi energyplay. My portfolio is very defensive, since I expect a recession starting in less than a year. Here it is: Cash 66% -- US T-bills(25%), Euro CDs(20%), USD Money Market funds (18%), Physical Gold+Palladium (3%). I use some of the USD Money Market funds to finance short term trading (I never use margin.) Bonds 21% -- FAX (8%), an AU$ and Asian currency bond CEF. IQT, VGM, PMH (8%), US$ muni bond CEFs. TIP (4%) inflation protected Treasuries. Junk bonds (1%). Stocks 13%-- PMT, BTE (3.5%), CA$ energy trusts. NAB (2.5%) AU$ bank. TRP (2%) CA$ gas pipeline. NLY (1%) US$ mortgage REIT. UBB (1%) Brazilian bank. IBM (1%). SBUX(1%). NTO(0.5%), DROOY (0.5%).
