Bullish on SMN ... SMN

71%

-86.77% in 266 days (closed on 08/13/09) These days it is hard for anyone to be credible when they say they know what is going to happen next. I am no different. I have a view and for now it is working but that doesn't mean it will tomorrow. I am happy to tell everyone what I think and they are free to agree or disagree. My premise is a simple one but it isn't a happy one. So you may sleep better if you just hit the delete key now. In my view, the problem we all face is a big one. The US like the rest of the world is over leveraged. As anyone who has ever lost their butts trading stocks on margin knows when times are great l... Continue reading »

Slow SMN

-20.18% in 4 days (closed on 10/20/08) A worldwide slowdown means decreased demand for basic materials. If you don't believe that there's a worldwide slowdown, then check the Baltic Dry Index. It's fallen off a cliff going back to mid-summer. Continue reading »

Bookkeeping: Increasing Hedges in Energy and Basic Materials SMN

34%

-67.64% in 524 days Taking Ultrashort Basic Materials (SMN) up to 4.1% of fund Taking Ultrashort Oil - Gas (DUG) up to 4.3% of fund The China news might finally be the catalyst to break the trend - we'll see.

And when 1 commodity sells off the hedge funds sell off everything no matter the fundamentals. So I'll just increase these insurance policies (hedges). So far the "insurance" policy in the Basic Materials has been a big loser for us (ouch) ....but the Oil - Gas pos... Continue reading »
