It’s just flat out ugly out there in the stock markets today, with higher-beta tech leading to the downside. (Higher-beta means that the stocks are more volatile on most days than the broader stock market indices). I’ve been steadily putting money to work today, as I’d noted I would earlier. I’ve purchased Celestica and Nuance [...]

Silver has dislocated itself to the downside again today, losing almost 5% this morning and making our SLV puts pop. Gold down. It sure seems to me that silver and not gold is the driver of the direction of the precious metals everyday. Nice gains in the portfolio again this morning and I’ve not pulled [...]
