I had a mixed day with losses in ARO/BORN and gains in OPEN, WNR, APC and MAS. It’s pretty heart wrenching to see the developments in Japan. I just read that radiation levels are 8x normal near one of their nuke plants. That has to suck.
It looks like The PPT nailed the ZSL trade again, as silver bottomed this morning, then took prisoners for the rest of the day. With mid-east tensions at a feverish pitch, Japan dealing with a natural disaster and chinese burrito stocks halting indefinitely, my appetite for risk waned throughout the day. I am content with my new position in WNR. However, I didn’t feel enthusiastic about today’s move. It felt like a bounce, nothing more.
Nevertheless, going into the weekend, I’m up about 10% for the year, with a cash position of around 5%.
