• Portfolio Management for May 6, 2014

    Yesterday, I sold the GDX, AMZN and CMG short positions.
    I still believe in the underlying stories, but risk management is more important and hence, I will not fight a tape that pushes higher.

    As you can see below, I now only have the UWM long, which I intend to sell today as it is under-performing the S&P500.



    The returns since September are shown below.



    On April 28, the returns were 28.47%. The portfolio has lost 1.19% since then. This is not catastrophic and is due to my decision to keep the CMG short trade, hoping that it would break lower sooner than later.

    I updated the portfolio management analysis section (see below).
    I added a draw-down analysis.

    I do not plan to trade much today. However, if we have a 20DMF strong day, I'll keep UWM, but if we have a weak 20DMF, I'll probably switch to TWM.
