hello c2, just in in-tray, it is what it is: quote Not that this is big news, but here is inventory of positions and personal views: I have been increasing my short US long bonds via RYJUX US EQUITY from the US$16 levels as part of long term positioning for higher cost of US long term money. Some debate on the upside short-term though. Some say 10-yr bond can only rebound to 4% short term. I will continue to increase my position slowly here. Chart below. I am also increasing long US dollar but holding Sing and HK dollars in size as well. Am keeping RMB small position. I have continued to trade short term, with a bias to accumulating on corrections. I bot a double position of China Moly 3993 HK on Monday and decreased my position after +10% but am holding the rest for now. I bot Toyota on its lows 3 weeks ago and will put it away for long term. I bot HSBC 8.12% bond which now yields about 7.8% I bot GE on its correction last week for long term. I am reducing Noble long term position, unless it corrects and level looks attractive relative to opportunities again 2008 Portfolio main moves (approx +3% YTD) Biggest unrealized losses: GAS NO (small position only); AYR (small position only); CKN LN (rebounding back to cost); UYG Biggest gains realized and unrealized: 3993 HK (sold half); 1199 HK (sold); NOBL SP (reducing after +35% on core); HSBC Bond; Sing dollar; 293 HK (sold); Honda (sold); CHF (sold); Yen (sold); 2343 HK (sold) Small gain to flat: RMT; cash (50-60% of overall) Core Holds now: - Macro: DUG short oil (lost my gains so far and down a little); RYJUX (slow move up); Sing dollar; HKD; US dollar; RMB - Trade/commodities: Toyota; China Moly; PYI; 39 HK; YZJ; OOIL; RMT ; CKN; PLS; GAS; - Diversified: HSBC 8.12% bond; Citi (forced holder small position, having sold most in 2006-1H07); GE; UYG (slow rebound) unquote
