Week 43 Major Position ChangesFund positions of 1.0% or greater can be found each week in the right margin of the blog, under the label cloud and recent comments areas; I highlight weekly the larger position changes.Being a long only fund, via
Marketocracy rules, the only hedges to the downside I have are cash or buying short
ETFs. I cannot short individual equities.

Major changes and weekly thoughtsMuch of the same this week as many in the past, and I believe many in the future. Continued deteriorating economic conditions but "not as bad as expected" so we continue to muddle along.
