Zeev, you used the phrase, "making profits while preserving capital." Toward that end, and given the climate of event risk, how do you hedge your portfolio? When you raise cash, are you really collecting less than one percent in a money market? Rydex Venture or ProFunds Ultrashort OTC would seem to be a acceptable vehicles for an ace timer with qualms about shorting. I know that turnip farmers are proud, prickly, early-to-rise, old-school, real-men-pick-their-own-stocks kind of guys, but colloquially, sometimes you get the bear and sometimes the bear gets you. Those leveraged index funds would be more like fish in a barrel.
