10% long NLY
10% long German utility stocks (E.ON, RWE)
10% short GWR
10% long TGLMX

One explosion position 5% short USD/HKD (cost of carry is minimal and return could be 50X or more if HK revalues)

Short:
Nothing, but probably treasuries. I'm not sure that I would really want to bet against the Fed though.
One thing I wish would be added to Seeking Alpha is an on/off switch for refreshing the news feeds. Sometimes there is quite a bit of news, and the page refreshes before I get to the bottom of the list. A few other financial websites offer a refresh switch.
My fantasy million bucks: all in Apple, where else?
My actual, ahem, xxx $, all in dividend payers, which now includes Apple ((*_*))
The irony,of course,is that if enough people find Alpha there won't be any money to make.

Of all the hundreds of sites, SA has proven to be the best. I think the main reason for that is because you can get so many viewpoints in a short amount of time.
short USO and SLV (with a tight stop above 33)
Fantastic web site, Love all the information.

Would invest in Apple,Potash, Railways, and food,
