I am taking the opposite approach due to this possibility: nytimes.com I agree that there are plenty of buying opportunities now, but prefer to wait and see. I wish I was smart enough to sell more stuff a couple of weeks ago. I hope that I do not say the same thing 2 weeks in the future.

Update on stocks i have mentioned here: 1. egt I sold most of my holdings. i had to raise some cash and needed the money. being a casino industry and very small it got hit badly in the past week. I dont think this is a reflection of the companys future prospects. I may look to re-enter at some point. 2. SLW i added some shares and bought some leaps. 3. axu i sold 1/2 of my position at a loss. 4. mil- listening to the conference call. I think this is a huge bargain at these levels. smith says company is doing well now operating on all cylinders so far in 2012. bv up to $8.90 and a lot of that is cash. div is around 2.5%. 5. aab.to sharply reduced their investment nav ( not including their royalty ) to .71 since they sold their royalty for at least .21 that makes their nav at least .92 in the meantime the div is around 5%. if junior miners ever recover they should do well. in their reduction of navs looks like they dropped the value of their private holdings by 50% because of market conditions, and the value of their warrant portfolio dropped from $15 million to a little over $1 million or so. 6. als.to continues to be very cheap. they have lots of cash and the value of its stake in alderon is close to $100 million.people close to the company believe alderon has lots of potential upside so the rest of the companies royalty streams and business acumen is free. I may stop reporting on these companies as there doesnt seem to be any interest.
