Week 15 Update

Down $1,482 Total Value $22,295/122%

Today my portfolio decided to take its lead from the broader markets, which meant big losses. The total loss for the day was $1,482 leaving the total value of the portfolio at $22,295, which is off of the high just set yesterday at $23,795. The converse relationship that my portfolio is beginning to make with the general markets, is why I need to sell-off the remainder of the portfolio.

52 Week High, Year to Date High, All Time High Week 15 update 3: 2 Day winning Streak.

Gain $58

Well the broader markets may have suffered losses but my portfolio still continues to make gains, although today's gains were moderate. At the close of the market the portfolio was up $132, but after commissions from selling off my other positions (the ones mentioned in the previous post) the true gain was only $58 (better than a loss of 58). I will continue to sell-off positions and begin to revert to my previous strategy of buying puts on equities, because I believe that equities are overvalued when viewed in a time period of 3-6 months, even in this SLIGHTLY bearish environment.

Week???????????(15) update 1 I'm Back

Alright I haven't posted frequently in about 3 weeks (new site) so I'm going to update more.The portfolio is near all-time highs @ 21,031. I did sell a few positions and add more since the last update. Most likely I will sell off the remaining positions and revert back to the strategy I was previously using (buy puts and sell at 20%). I've employed a new options strategies that I havent used yet, the straddle. I'm probably going to also include some neutral strategies, iron condor butterfly spread, short straddle, etc (but I'm not neutral on the market I'm still bearish and have been bearish since November). Take a look at the portfolio snapshots for a more in-depth analysis of the portfolio. I have positions in :
DBA
DBC
DBE
DBP
DIG
GSG
MTL
OIH
SDS
UNG
USO
