A Tale of Two Portfolios

By -

For the four portfolios I manage, the continuum of bullishness to bearishness is as follows:

  • IRA
  • Schwab
  • Family Account
  • Personal Options Account

You can imagine how these portfolios contrast in performance on a day like this; the top ten percentage gainers on my IRA for today are:

…….and the top ten percentage losers (and remember, this is just for today) on the personal account:

Ouchie!

So the relentless run-up continues. I shorted 10 /ES at 904 with a stop above 910.50. My big account (the family one) is mostly in cash, but it has a large quantity of smallish short positions and a small quantity of long positions (see watch lists, on the right, as always).
