Now increasing my 2X long postion to 50% of portfolio.

I see signs the fool’s rally is off and running now.

But if stocks instead drop another 5% today,then I’ll go long with MORE money.

New mood in markets. October is rally month.

Do you have a Roth account, and if so, can you short sell from it?

I have a ROTH IRA. I believe Fidelity told me it is NOT possible to directly short stocks from that account because ROTH cannot be a margin account at the same time.

I do have options trading approval on that account. I’m looking at buying calls now on the S&P500 and NASDAQ.

NOTE: on instinct only, I do NOT like gold this morning. Not with markets poised for a Oct stock rally, and gold over $900.

I’m selling gold.

I smell a Fool’s Rally building. Of course, last week I smelled one also (betting on that cost me 10% of my portfolio)

Just now I went long again with QLD, starting off with betting 10% of my portfolio. Let’s see how that goes before betting more.

The Big Question now on my mind: will gold keep going up OR if we have a stock market Fool’s Rally, will gold resume its deflationary (short-term) decline?

Consider consulting in china

Thirty days ago, the GM for our Beijing R&D center calls me up cold. Asks if I wanna come over to Beijing on a two year contract paid the equivalent in RMB to my existing US salary.

For example, let’s say I make $175K/year today. Next month I’m in China making 6.8 X 175,000 = 1.2 million RMB/year. However, no ex-pat package (no housing allowance…etc)

Implication: built-in salary increase every year in dollars, due to the exchange rate move! Plus I get my typical raise on top of that.

My wife forced me to turn down that offer. She’s Chinese and yet doesn’t want to go back to China! I married a Chinese and that prevents me from now living in China? How the hell does that make sense? We had a full week of yelling matches over that topic.

She’s a high school teacher who is only one year away from getting her tenure…and she has just landed a full time job in Palo Alto, one of the most sought-after Silicon Valley school districts (both for teachers and students). She didn’t want to give that up for a teaching position in Beijing.

True story.
