Portfolio

Well 2012 has started with a bang! I have closed most of my positions and now sit with only 50% stocks as of 1/4/12.  I have kept only GOOG, MCD, TRH Going forward to 2012 but will make some good buys in the next coming months. Thank you.



Here are ALL the positions I have closed while writing this blog.. As you can see it has been good and continues to be good to be an investor for the long run. I continue to be defensive in nature and purchase stocks at a huge discount of what I feel is their fair value. (Red means good)
