Flurry of buying, then crickets

On Monday ERTS picked up a tranche of Cameco, and then on Tuesday two tranches of gold stock ETFs and some Potash and Teck. So overall the portfolio is now net-long 57.6% adjusted for ETF leverage, and still sitting on 69.2% of cash. Basically waiting out the rally. The big positions are gold shares – 6 tranches, natural gas (which had a good day today) – 3 tranches, and an average position in Potash Corp of two tranches. Not really aggressive except for the precious metals – and those are still only 50% allocated to what they could be.  Equity improved by .4% this week, on a bit of a recovery in gold stocks and a surge in natural gas.
