Hey Saleem,

It's pretty easy this week--the market is heading higher for now.

My portfolio looks like this:

CLF - 24.7%
TZA - 12.9%
PANW - 12.8%
ADNC - 6.8%
GWAY - 6.7%
PFPT - 3.6%
APWC - 2.5%
(cash) - 30.0%

The portfolio is a little random, but I tried to find stocks that had upside still after this market run. I also put on the TZA hedge to protect somewhat.

Until we get near fiscal cliff resolution, I will play for shorter term ideas and special situations. I don't trust any of my companies' guidance right now.

I really don't see anything in the way of further rally for now. Europe is diffused, China is turning, and current US economic data shows rebound.

I'll do more thinking over the weekend about the best ways to construct my portfolio, but CLF seems a great way to play my thesis based on industry and valuation.

Have a great weekend! :)

Hi Stocktrader,

Good luck with further due diligence over the weekend.

Market is alway's unpredictable & needs to be balanced with any thesis.
