My only long holdings over the last several months are in base metals and energy, when I'm short I short the rest of the market which I find very over extended. Unfortunately when the market corrects it takes everything with it and at some point in time the correction will be more than just a correction.
As yet I have seen very few companies in the base metal, precious metal or energy sector report the kind of earnings we would expect given the underlying commodity prices, most have disappointed and yet many investors still are hopeful of those big earnings. I'm getting a little anxious that as these companies report, it's simply going to be one excuse after another.
I've made an awful lot of money over the last few years and I have no intention of letting it drain away on the back of unrealized promises or expectations.
