N/A

(A Top Pick Sept 13/11.)

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sept28/11.) At that time he had 53% in cash and this is now down to about 36%. He had felt that Europe was going to blow up. He is still skeptical that Europe will ultimately work but he is not looking at an imminent explosion, but a series of disappointments.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Aug 22/11, Flat) She is down on cash since then.

TOP PICK

Going from 16-35%. Short term Bearish followed by short term bullish in the winter. Mid to late October he will be looking to buy.

TOP PICK

In his current portfolio he has 66% in cash or cash equivalents. You only want to be in sectors that have strong seasonality in the summertime such as gold and energy.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 18/11.) Cash right now represents flexibility. We are in a very range bound market and are 3.5 years off lows of 2009. We are in a cyclical market and it doesn’t pay to press hard in the 4th year of a cyclical rally. There is risk in the fall and it pays to have some flexibility and cash does that.

TOP PICK
The situation in Europe right now is unprecedented and is going to be volatile for the next several months. At the end of it, there is going to be some light and some pretty good opportunities. He wants to be in a position to take advantage of those.
TOP PICK
He has pretty high expectations baked in for the second half of the year on earnings. Global growth is slowing. There was a lot of paralysis on company spending. Expect there will be a quarter where there will be “torpedo” stocks where companies miss their earnings. You want a little bit of cash to take advantage of that.
COMMENT
How do you calculate percentage of cash that one should hold for a potential market decline for opportunities to invest? He doesn’t encourage “timing the market” and most of his clients are almost fully invested. If you are holding cash, you have to decide when the market has dropped to a point that you feel is suitable and then you invest and don’t look back.
TOP PICK
You can’t operate with biases in this business. There are times to be fully invested and there are times to be cautious. We are in the 4th year of a recovery cycle and will probably be a sloppy one.
