Now that we’re all making money again, happy like fat, gluttonous, pigs, let’s discuss the shit you called a ‘portfolio.’
Most of you are rabbit skinners and gamblers. You are rank amateurs, masquerading about town, comporting yourselves in the most undignified ways imaginable. I can tell, just by reading your comments, that you, Sir, are setting up for complete failure.
Let’s avoid that, shall we?
Run along and fetch your account statements. Now, I want you to tell me how your investments are weighted, across asset classes. Before you do, I will share my weighting.
Basic Materials: 14%
Consumer Discretionary: 11.5%
Staples: 8.2%
Tech: 23%
Healthcare: 16.5%
Finance: 10%
Industrials: 12.5%
Utilities: 0%
Cash: 5%
Amongst my holdings, almost 2/3rds of them are of a larger cap nature. Within the ranks, I’ve dedicated X amount of dollars for short term ideas, most of which you see me here on there blog, sashaying (no homo) in and out with space alien magician precision.
Critiquing my own holdings, I realize my basic material and tech weightings are too high and need to be reduced. I also understand that healthcare is a bit out of control too. At some point, I intend to tweak it and reallocate into staples and finance. But healthcare and tech is where the money is flowing now and I want to be there for the turn in oil, whenever that does occur.
In short, you’ve been fortunate to be a part of such a forgiving market, one that V-shapes off of every downtick. But remember that pain and the agony you felt just a few short weeks ago, when you were ‘fag-boxed‘ into what seemed like an untenable position.
See to your affairs when times are good, so that you can relish in the pain and agony of others when the worm turns.
