    Plus the fact it has been stated by many pundents that he was one of the few that has a portfolio that grew last year. So he must be taking advantage of the green shoots.

    He was heavily hedged against Great Depression, so his portfolio grew last year (2008) and early this year while the stock market was crashing, and it declined in Q2 2009 while the stock market was making double-digit gains.[/quote]

    Very true but I would rather see EOY performance over quartely. You can make anyone look bad on just 1 or 2 two quarters of performance data.

    It did not take much forethought to go all-cash in 2007 and wait for the storm to blow over. You would’ve gotten returns similar to Mish’s hedged fund, avoiding the downside AND the upside.

    At this point I’m more sympathetic to Warren Buffett. If you listened to this

    and invested into NASDAQ the following day, you would’ve made 25% on your money by now.

    So are you more of a trader in nature? Honestly I don’t have much in the market because I am scared of it…

    A trader could make a killing. Me… I just want to give my money to someone to take care of it for me.

    Like someone mentioned in an earlier post I see contradicting economic indicators, and I have concluded the following:

    1. In many ways I see us going down more or less the same path we did just prior to and during the depression. And we may exit the same way as well.

    2. Stock market rally: A by-product of inflation

    What do I see as ‘real’ barometers of the ‘real’ economy? Gold and unemployment.

    Stay positive but stay realistic.

    Do the blogs get me down? No, I use them as empowerment and motivation to prepare.
