just tallied

9.5% cash (mostly hkd pegged to usd)
32% metals (au:pt:ag @ 76:22:2, paper au:physical au @ 60:40, paper pt:physical pt @ 16:84)
9.5% public equity (gold / silver miners, other miners, nly, mcd, pfc, arcc, etc m-t-market)
8.5% private equity (valued at below cost)
40.5% rental & site aggregation (aaa+ credit equivalent, valued at cost, imo :0)

ytd result @ +4.25%, down from high-water mark of +7.5%

keeping it simplest, the plan is to allocate the remaining cash to gold between now and the end of june
then to see if leverage is warranted per macro

cheers, tj

Anything is possible, of course, but printing chf is not the SNB's only weapon. The Swiss can implement capital flow controls like they did in the 1970s and require even more for the privilege of owning Swiss bonds.

The Euro is likely to eventually trade at less than 1.2, which should make the issue irrelevant.
