Great Start to the Week

My portfolio is becoming more and more tied to commodities. With SLW, NEM, NSU, FCX, TC-PT and NUGT, I have a fairly large concentration. So on a day like this, when commodities spike up, I crush the indices.  Hopefully on the down days, I just lose by a little.

Here were my top 10 stocks of the day:

Top 10
CYOU	7.9%
SLW	6.5%
NEM	5.4%
TC-PT	4.6%
GA	4.3%
RDA	3.6%
NUS	2.6%
AAPL	2.2%
DLB	1.0%
FCX	0.6%

See the pattern? Actually NSU (+11%) and NUGT (+18%) should be in there as well.

Riding The Wave

I took a look and the stocks I have purchased since April 1st are up an average of 8.6%.  That is with some real stinkers in there. Now if I can just somehow levitate SD...  Here are all my purchases in 2013:
