Why don’t you buy some options? Then, you can be *MORE* than 100% long!
By my estimates, a 10% portfolio allocation to equity options is equivalent to a 50% stock allocation. I.e., a portfolio of 90% stock, 10% options has the same profile as 140% stock.
congrats on your three year anniversary…
the momentum sectors felt like they have been hit with a bus this month.
I cannot figure out if this is sector rotation or if some big hedge funds are blowing up. The action looks similar to the dry shipping stocks last year which is not good news.
Any how… i got couple of slightly non-related questions if you don’t mind. How are you generating the PDF attachment? and how are you generating the print preview for the other site? looks pretty nice by the way. great job.
@ FSK: I don’t buy options because I don’t want to.
@ Born: Print preview is available here, too. In WordPress, it’s a plugin developed by Lester ‘GaMerZ’ Chan. The PDFs are from PDFCreator v.0.9.5 from pdfforge.
