An up and down (but even) week...

This was a pretty up and down week, with a big down day for me on Wednesday and the other three days being up to even things out.  I closed the week with a YTD overall return of 8.64%, as compared with the YTD return of the TSX of 4.3%, so I am still doing pretty well.  I managed to avoid my bad habits this past week, largely because I am so fully invested and have no funds available to day trade.


At this point, I am 88% invested in securities, with the remainder in cash, ready to deploy.




I still have lots of precious metals holdings - HBU, HZU, BTO, MTO, and YRI - and I still have a few in the energy space - LTS, PD, and TBE.  I have some other miners - CCO, PDN, and TKO - and a utility (EMA) and a financial (HFU).  I also still have a small amount of DWI.  This past week, I added to my positions in MTO and HZU.




Some sell indicators at the close on Friday are on PDN and DWI, so I will look at unloading these on Monday (with stop losses, of course).




There aren't any new buys as of the close on Friday (HFU, CCO, and TBE are all buys but I already own them), so I won't be looking to pick up any new stocks right away on Monday.  That said, BB looks interesting at 10.17, so I may dip my toe in there a bit.




I am also keeping an eye on natural gas since it has risen to much lately, and may look to get into HND, to profit if the natural gas price settles back a bit.




Most of my holdings are solidly in hold territory, so there isn't much to do right away on Monday, so I will mostly sit tight.
