I usually keep it <15 so I can scale in and out weekly without too many transaction costs. Only 8 of my 15 are in the green but I guess I shouldn't be complaining.

A little over 50%.

I'm down roughly from 18 to 22% now in my LT thanks to POS EEV. Should have diversified it for SRS and SKF. If I had 1/3 of my EEV in SKF and 1/3 of it in SRS, I'd have been down about 12% yoy assuming I kept the same proportional upside price targets which I would have. It's almost impossible to compute accurately since I add and remove cash often though.

Today was just another short covering rally on no news. Don't get too excited yet. Many more companies are going bankrupt before this mess is over.

Well I don't have much room to talk but I started 35 days ago and I'm up 20.4% so I guess it's good, but I don't have such a big portfolio because of the low starting amount.

I was down 60% when we hit the 10/10 lows... Now I'm only down 38%...

Doesn't a double bottom mean a good thing??

hpark

i think we've hit a quadruple bottom by now

A lot of people are buying high when they think they are buying low.

I think I am somewhere around 35% this year. Lost about $60k +

All my funds are done through work and if you put in a request to move money around it does not take place until the last day of the month. I could have stemmed some serious losses if it was a same day trade.

I looked for other opportunities and was able to flip a house in a couple weeks with some inside info. Made $25k back.

Still pissed about the losses but I still have at least 17 years to retirement without a powerball win. At least that was the plan. Probably closer to 20 years now......

My family took a trip to Hawaii a month after the Sept 11 crash of the market and there were tons of condo's at fire sale prices because people who had nice retirements fall into the toilet had to sell their toys. For those with decent incomes and credit who have toyed with the idea of a vacation property, the near future will provide great opportunities to find a good one at a low price. Better than what you may find for opportunities in the market in the near term. IMHO
