*Current thoughts:

It looks like the BCGI trade will not work as planned, as the court decided that BCGI infringed the patents of 'Freedom Wireless,' the strange thing is, a look at the website of that company & it appears as if they don't even do any business! Their website is http://www.freedom-wireless.net/ - Likely that trade will be written off as a loss, fortunately it was only 2.57% of the portfolio.

Between the other 3 company stock position of GBN, GRZ, and PRCS. 2 of which are gold stocks and have traded lower off of market sentiment, $GOLD has gotten a lil' beat up off of the dollar's rise this week and that is not surprising. However, these are just 2 of many $GOLD stocks which are becoming fundamentally undervalued and technically oversold, I have confidence in these stocks fundamentally, technically any further sharp dip becomes at least an intermediate-term buy. Meanwhile, the PRCS play which is a biotech or drug-related play trading well under book value with net income is playing out as expected, should it rally further this week, it may be a sell above .90, or at least a partial-sell.

The biggest portfolio position now rests in USPIX, with the USPIX having pulled back to its 61.8% closing fib level on Friday, I will have to say, that a further strengthening of this position is likely next week. This position is extremely liquid, and I would be surprised if it didn't increase in liquidity and monetary value into the future as the bear market comes back with vengenance. This portfolio position has little market risk at this point in time, and the reward is many times greater as far as I'm concerned.

All in all, the strongest position in the portfolio is the fact that over 56% of the starting portfolio's worth lies in cash, which will certainly be used as a weapon going forward and to overcome any losses sustained in the BCGI flop.
