Cody’s Latest Positions

Here’s a most complete picture of my own latest positions.

I’ve broken the list into Longs and Shorts. And from there, I’ve broken down each list into even further into refined categories. I’ve added a color code to the list to convey even more information about the size of each position, which are already listed within each refined category in order of overall weighting in my own portfolios. Using the colors of the rainbow, the largest positions in my portfolio are in red. Then orange, yellow, green, blue, with purple indicating that the position is rather tiny relative to the entire portfolio.

Finally, I give each stock a current rating from 1 to 10, 1 being “Get out of this position now!” and 10 being “Sell the farm, I’ve found a perfect investment” (there will never be a 10 rating, because there is no such thing as a perfect investment, of course). Anyway, here’s the list:
