Week 101

No video for this week's update. Things have been pretty hectic and fast pace. Spring is setting in and I have lots of people moving and doing spring cleaning needing my help.  It does make me pause and think of how great it will be when I do go professional with my investing and trading. I'll have a lot more time to balance between different areas of life.

For now though I must focus on my portfolio.  The Active Account is making its way out of the hole I dug it with the SPY hedge and NOK trade. HAS and OHI are going nuts.

GLDI continues to mirror GLD. The only time I think it will not do so is when gold is rising sharply. Where the covered call options get called away and the profit isn't enough to buy the shares back. Its yielding 7% which is good for most investments right now, great for gold itself. I'll wait at least one more month to see what it yields.
