After yesterday's rally, today I decided to move to the sideline. I think it's a bear market's sharp rally and there are more downside to go. Late afternoon's selling proves my point.
- Sold AAPL for a tiny gain.
- Sold ORCL.
- Sold ABK for a loss. I learned the lesson, will not play these kind of stocks for a long period of time. I had my moments to sell for a profit, I didn't.
- Sold NLR for a loss.
- Sold most GLD for a small gain.
- Now I'm almost 100% cash, a very small GLD, and that's it.
- So far in 2008, I'm ahead due to the gains from GDX, DBA and DBC. Losses are from ABK and NLR, fortunately, they're relatively small.
- I need to follow this idea in the future: to add big positions on safe and sound tradeable ideas, and limit speculative trades to a smaller size.
I expect to add GLD, SLV, DGP, DBA and DBC on commodity corrections, and add them over time.
I expect market to go lower over the next few months, when that happens, gold and other commodities will go lower with the market.
