Well I made it through the crash . I think I'm about where I was a year ago. Any way in dollar numbers it seems about the same although the decrease in the dollar value may explain some of the increase.
For some reason I didn't get too emotionally involved while I lost about 35-50%. Basically waited it out,but Mr Market has had a hell of a run and Fundamentally I don't see much reason for things to have improved that much . The last couple of days have the hair standing up on the back of my neck for some reason...... I just don't want to ride another 2 g down hill plunge.
Right now I'm about 30% intermediate bonds/ 10% gold and gold stocks/20% Stocks,mostly large caps-international and some small caps/ 30% real estate , small amount timber land, small amount recreational pasture and the rest in a private reit that specializes in manufacturing facilities. Of course the Reit and other real estate is very hard to value at this stage ?
Any body got any suggestions other than maybe Valium patience and hope, not necessarily in that order.
