Eric, thanks for the post. Actually, nothing I have is what I would consider risky. I was more concerned about a general market meltdown at some point and I just don't want that point to be while I'm in Peru next week on business. But I've decided to do nothing, again because I'm not in anything that is particularly risky imho. If the market falls, I may miss some opportunities to add to my positions at lower values, but again there is nothing I really "want" to sell right now UNLESS the whole market dumps. If that happens, c'est la vie.

Unfortunately, I can't trade options. Since we do that in my business, the company "prefers" that we don't in our personal accounts, even if it's not necessarily energy related. Some may consider it a stupid "rule" but quite a few companies seem to adhere to the same idea. Likewise, we can't trade commodities. I may not like it, but it's the way it is, so.........
