Script Investing
We like to follow a macro Washington script, ie our investment philosophy in the long waves based on what is going on in Washington.. The script for 2002 to 2005 was predominately long gold, from 2005 to 2008 it was long gold and then short stocks, from October 2008 it has been long stocks in increasing levels of leverage and now because of what is happening a little short gold and long dollar is being added. At the moment we are at only about 3 percent short gold and 2 percent long dollar in terms of overall exposure. Today we want to start to increase that with eventual exposure at 10 percent in this trade during the early period. Eventually we may go to 20 percent when the dollar index breaks out on the upside at 93.00.
