Here is the latest commentary in the Live portfolio link below:
I have completed a lot of portfolio reallocation with one new MA and EA entry. The 5 funds of LJW were cancelled and JLungu was fortified w/$2,408.53. I added a new MA named Spice Cap with a small stake of 100 bucks at Oanda. I replaced the commercial PipBuster EA with another one of the TrendChaser EA's. I just could not see any reason to experience the drawdown with PipBuster while paying for the privledge of using it.
I place more importance on drawdown than yield as I must stop the losses in this Portfolio and I feel that I have enough speculation in the mix. I am not reaching my goals yet, but if you notice the NAV holds stable (even during NFP week) and I have more cash invested than usual.
I feel pretty good about the current holdings in this portfolio and I might put this years IRA addition/contribution in Berkshire Hathaway B stock (BRK.B). I have heard some great things about Warren Buffett and his future prospects to invest in China.
I hope to be able to continue to present this unique portfolio which invests in the cash market of Forex, together with holdings of precious metals in the Franklin Fund, while experimenting with automation. The Portfolio is heavily weighted in Forex and will soon introduce the Berkshire componet as an equity holding to round out the allocation.
There is a little bit of everything for everybody and the goal is to preserve capital and to hold the drawdown at bay. Again, I have experienced a 43% portfolio drawdown and I am not doing a very good job.
