First, focus your imagination: Latest Positions

You can’t depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus. – Mark Twain, 11/30/1835 – 04/21/1910

Here’s a list of my latest positions in approximate order from largest to smallest. You know the dealio — I give each stock a current rating from 1 to 10, 1 being “Get out of this position now!” and 10 being “Sell the farm, I’ve found a perfect investment” (there will never be a 10 rating, because there is no such thing as a perfect investment, of course). You’ll notice that I’ve lowered the ratings on several of our longs, which is a reflection of how far these stocks have rallied in the last few months and last few weeks. I’m leery about chasing longs up here for the short-term. Anyway, here’s the list:
