I was quite reckless the last two years up until spring, early summer.. I expected crap after the Olympics but never imagined this .. As to greedy... Did very well with junior fert stocks after good runs in oilsands.... but was far too levered to them .. like 40% in KCL.TO ... which I think is what strengthened my resolve to be so high in cash this summer ... stress and fear :O) phew! Now I'm of the other mind.. 80% of my PF is kept away from risk period until I get some clarity.. so I'm on the hunt for what I decide will be my next big bet(s).. Right now I'm not greedy.. I'm in capital preservation mode.. Since 2000 I've been in a few capital devastation modes .... never again .. The Black Swan
