Wow, it's been a long time since my last post. I was pretty busy, and frankly worn out, from my busy schedule of a full time military job and pursuing my master's degree in finance. I completed my master's in May 2010 and took a break for the summer. Since then I have been busy relocating to different TAD assignments and have just recently returned to the United States after having been deployed onboard the USS George H.W. Bush for the summer.
I am writing this post from my newly rented and unfurnished home in Mill Creek, Washington. I will continue to be quite busy at work in 2012 and expect to be at sea for more days than I will be in port.
As for investing/trading... what interesting times! With very little time available to sit in front of a computer I haven't done much trading. What has worked out so far is my long term trades (some may call them investments) in gold and silver. I will maintain these trades until the global sovereign debt issues resolve themselves. In fact, I look for opportunities to increase my positions in gold and silver.
When silver approached $50 I missed a great chance to trade around my position. I was deployed to the middle east! Reliable connectivity to the internet was spotty at best and my risk management rules prevent me from trading under such circumstances. In short, I missed an opportunity to make some money. But you can't cry and complain shoulda woulda coulda.
To summarize, buy gold and silver. You can even get some coins to hold in your hand. This train has a ways to go...
