Down 3.8% (but this port is measured from the close on Thanksgiving weekend. It is probably down about 6% from Dec 31st, but is showing a profit since Dec 24th. I'm still on the theory that crap is good. Since my last post I was able to register a good gain in SCLD (pleasant suprise). I'm still in CRDS (b/e), ITRA (hurt), SOFO (hurt) and TII (profit) and reentered APAC (hurt), FSTW (hurt), INFO(b/e), MCHM (hurt) and SCKT (b/e). Looking at VASO for a rentry. Haven't traded a loss yet. Basically with the exception of SOFO, I've made a minimum of 10% on all the stocks below. I'm losing on ITRA but only because I held half when it surged to $1.20 - a trading error didn't know how much I had. All the postions that I rebought are doing crappy - but I'm up 14% as a percentage of capital allocatted for this time of year, and 9% based on traded capital (included money I have invested now) AGNT Jan 21 0.82 -0.01 69,450 1,075 $881.50 -$10.75 -1.20% .93 -$118.25 -11.83% APAC Jan 21 1.60 0.00 6,300 575 $920.00 $0.00 0.00% 1.74 -$80.50 -8.05% CRDS Jan 21 1.36 -0.03 22,049 741 $1,007.76 -$22.23 -2.16% 1.35 $7.41 +0.74% FSTW Jan 21 1.71 0.00 8,050 490 $837.90 $0.00 0.00% 2.04 -$161.70 -16.18% GGNS Jan 21 2.11 -0.07 154,124 581 $1,225.91 -$40.67 -3.21% 1.72 $226.59 +22.67% INFO Jan 21 1.41 -0.04 82,550 568 $800.88 -$22.72 -2.76% 1.76 -$198.80 -19.89% INOW Jan 21 1.20 +0.03 8,200 917 $1,100.40 $27.51 +2.56% 1.09 $100.87 +10.09% ITRA Jan 21 0.89 -0.01 233,330 862 $767.18 -$8.62 -1.11% 1.16 -$232.74 -23.28% MCHM Jan 21 0.60 -0.01 42,390 1,124 $674.40 -$11.24 -1.64% .89 -$325.96 -32.58% MPET Jan 21 1.33 +0.04 81,135 758 $1,008.14 $30.32 +3.10% 1.32 $7.58 +0.76% PRLS Jan 21 1.40 +0.04 36,643 699 $978.60 $27.96 +2.94% 1.43 -$20.97 -2.10% SCKT Jan 21 1.59 +0.02 138,473 515 $818.85 $10.30 +1.27% 1.94 -$180.25 -18.04% SCLD Jan 21 2.54 +0.11 65,410 503 $1,277.62 $55.33 +4.53% 1.99 $276.65 +27.64% SOFO Jan 21 1.326 -0.014 88,591 562 $745.21 -$7.87 -1.04% 1.78 -$255.15 -25.51% TIII Jan 21 1.591 +0.021 12,250 641 $1,019.83 $13.46 +1.34% 1.56 $19.87 +1.99% VASO Jan 21 0.99 +0.02 83,291 1,064 $1,053.36 $21.28 +2.06% .94 $53.20 +5.32% VITX Jan 21 1.03 0.00 1,588,949 1,493 $1,537.79 $0.00 0.00% .67 $537.48 +53.73% VLFG Jan 21 1.62 -0.03 100 526 $852.12 -$15.78 -1.82% 1.9 -$147.28 -14.74% VMTI Jan 21 1.10 +0.01 39,295 893 $982.30 $8.93 +0.92% 1.12 -$17.86 -1.79% VNWI Jan 21 0.69 +0.01 131,088 1,235 $852.15 $12.35 +1.47% .81 -$148.20 -14.81% 20 symbols Total(USD): $19,341.90 $67.56 +0.35% -$658.01 -3.29%

Hello, Q. My portfolio is not faring too well either, this January. Thanks to one of your ideas, TIDE.OB the equally allocated portfolio shows a loss of only -3.20% from the purchase prices or about -5.4% from the yearend with nearly all the gains coming from TIDE. Many of the stocks have seen prices 50% or more above the current trading prices, CLTK, ANCC, IBD, WHX to name a few. Unfortunately those spikes were very shortlived and many of the gains turned into losses as of now. I even remembered to have traded AGT at 90c, not 60c. The real portfolio is faring worse, as i have only a few tide, and then the IBD stock which is halted needs a valuation reserve of likely 75% of the current value, adding to the losses. So in real life the remaining portfolios is more like 8% down (I did book some gains in the early ANCC and CLTK spikes, tho).
