Up days and good news and those that deliver it are favored storys and guests. This year I've relied upon volume which is a tool utilized in the past too and the lack of same kept me much more on the sidelines than those who may have played the tremendous swings you mention. There is no opportunity cost with cash when the intention and result is preservation of capital. Certainly we remain in a choppy environment, possibly the worst time for lesser equipped trend followers with few exceptions, primarily gold. Cash will always be an asset and missed opportunities aren't half as bad as lost principal. It's a marathon and this race is the toughest I've seen. Michael,
