<Safety is relative :O)> Are there water or grain trusts? I think I heard you talk about a grain pool once but I have not a clue. <If USD goes Argentina (piece I'm not sure about)> It has lost about a third the past 10 years maybe it will lose a third from here? RIC does seem like a decent play. Good management and low share count and producing about 80K Tom

>>No position can break the PF If they get too big I trim back.. This is a question I've been wrestling with, unfortunately only in theory . But it seems to me that it's not position size that determines the risk but rather the "bet" size, the bet being the amount of money you would lose from your last purchase IF the stop-loss is triggered. It seems to me that the position size might be allowed to get quite large as in "let your profits run", provided you keep "bet" size small, by judicious control of stop-losses. Theory, theory, Does it work this way ?
