Stock Market

I held 3 mutual funds (TEDIX, AEPGX and GBRAX) and was in and out of stocks (BAC, MAT, IL, DIS, S, etc.) and played some ETF's. The ETF's made me money. Did nice when gold plummeted (DZZ). Did nice with the 3x small cap bear (TZA)I came up a little on a BAC trade, Mattel and Disney have always done well for me. Got out of Sprint before it tanked (minor loss). Got hit fairly hard with Intralinks. I'd say I lost about 10-15% in the last couple of years. Not bad considering some people are in the 40% plus zone.

So, now I basically sold everything. Cashed out except for TEDIX which is my domestic fund which pays great dividends so I stayed in.

I'm going to look for day or two, and possibly just short the hell out of everything. Holding TZA right now. I might short the Euro as well.

I think I am going to go like this in 2012
40% mutual fund

40% stock (probably the majority in a blue chip like DIS, then some in BAC and maybe even Tokyo Electric Power, might grab some more Mattel, not sure yet).

20% ETF. Going to play TZA/TNA, DZZ (once gold gets back up to 1800 or so), EUO (watching Europe) and SCO/UCO (monitoring oil).

Everyone has great hope for 2012. We'll see. I think if it is a bad year, 2011 will look like a good one with how bad 2012 will be. We either have some what of a recovery, or the global market gets hit hard.

Were only several of us posting in that forum so I think it got canned!

I have some mutual funds, and riding with some long-term stocks right now with F, EGO, HI, SD, WFT, IPGP, ARO, FUN, MSFT and a couple of others. How about you?

I took some time off from playing sports to put more time into managing my portfolio.
I intend to play some more sports this year, but what happened to the stock forum?

Any short/long traders here?
