Sold the entire 9% GLD position at 86.54. I think gold will be going up later but the path is ugly looking right now. I still have the FCX, SA and AUY gold mining stocks as well as the SLW and CDE siler mining company positions. Can always buy it back…

Sold GLD position
Tuesday, April 29th, 2008Bought AGQNF – ALGONQUIN PWR INCO UNIT

RYN – bought more
Monday, April 28th, 2008Bought another 1% position in RYN at $43.32 to bring total position to 2%. Stock and others in this segment (PCL, PCH & NBD) have been acting well lately.
PCU – Bought more
Monday, April 28th, 2008Added another 1% to PCU position at $115.93 (down about 5%) to bring it to a total of 2%. With production in Chile being affected by electricity shortages, PCUs production in Mexico and Peru seemed attractive – or at least it will when production in Mexico halted by a strike resumes. <g>
BTE Bought
Friday, April 25th, 2008Bought another .5% BTE making a total of 2%. Company in line for a credit upgrade. Pays almost 10% dividend.
Bought PDS
Thursday, April 24th, 2008PDS down about 7% on the day – bought a 1% position – thought it was oversold
Couldn’t resist – sold CAF
Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008CAF popped up over 12% today while the underlying Shanghai market was up 4-5%. Decided that that taking a big gain on a down day wasn’t a bad idea. Sold the entire 2% (what I bought a few days ago plus what I bought today) position at a nice gain.
