I’m up a cool 2% this morning, even though I am positioned conservatively, long at 110% of capital.
Today’s winners are a mixed bag of nuts, with solar and gold leading the way. Don’t ask me how gold/silver have resurrected themselves, but they have. Some of you were correct about gold and I was wrong. I still hate the yellow metal–but regret letting my emotions get in the way of making money.
It seems that every single sector that gets obliterated comes back with a vengeance, rewarding bottom pickers for their bravery.
Look over the recent winners: solar, homebuilders, oil, tech, alt energy, airlines, refiners and healthcare. At one point they were all in the dog house, orphans of wall st. Look at them now.
The only real dogs that left can be found in the natural gas, nuclear, precious metals, steel, coal and shipping industries. Judging by recent trends, this is likely only the beginning for the run in FRO and GNK. If natty is going to come back, KWK, UPL, and CWEI will surge to the upside.
Being that I am up more than 40% for the year and own plenty of momentum names, I’ve decided to try my hand at some undervalued turnaround plays, maybe just one to start.
