Well, it's been ages and ages since I've posted anything.
Why? Because I've been positively swamped with non-blogging duties. And I mean that in a good way.
With one small exception, I haven't made any portfolio moves since my last post. That one exception is adding a few bucks to my Agnico-Eagle (AEM) position a couple of months ago after the company got clobbered when announcing it was closing a mine. Of course, it fell even more along with other miners as the year neared its close. Yet I remain long-term bullish on gold and the gold miners.
I'll be posting the portfolio's 2011 results shortly. But here's how it broke down a couple of weeks or so ago:
Cash (US Treasury MMF) 35%
Equities (non-Mining related) 33%
Gold Mining Stocks 19%
Gold & Silver Bullion 13%
100%
I have no idea how many readers Controlled Greed still has -- but here's wishing anyone reading this a happy, healthy and prosperous 2012.
Still here and still Reading.

Happy New Year. I like that you diversified your precious metals into gold mining as well silver and gold bullion. That was smart. Even though it has been a down few years, well decade if we're honest, folks are still getting returns. Welcome back to the blogosphere. :-)
