After Monday and Tuesday, trading tapered to zero. Prices kept in a fairly tight range between all the buy and sell limit orders in place. All the short positions were sold out by Tuesday – everyone else’s cue to immediately sell. And on Friday they did actually, with the S&P500 dropping about 15 points and then recovering to about down 10. But nothing dramatic has really been happening. The portfolio is down 2.3% on the month, and is 81.6% in cash, with the leverage-adjusted directional bias at 37.8%. The only positions are gold stock and natural gas ETFs, and one tranche of Potash Corp. Nothing in broad indices or economically sensitive (e.g. copper) stocks.
