With today’s gains, I am now up more than 30%, enough to take risk and not worry about falling back in line with my competition. My gains are being spearheaded by VHC, TC, ESRX and of course PPC, as I am The Chicken Man.
I am tempted to sell off 20% of my assets here for cash. That would put me at about 33% cash going into the Fed. I feel that is a prudent level. However, my greed is preventing me from doing so. I need to adhere to the basic principles of proper money management and forgo my barbaric desires of gluttonous, outsized, stock returns.
This business can be very easy and smooth sailing, providing you know when to press your luck. The market has a familiar feel of euphoric perversion, ahead of the Fed.
Without a doubt, the risk is to the downside here, as expectations are through the roof.
UPDATE: I sold out of CVO and some VHC. My cash position is now 25%.
