Market report: 2008-01-02

Coming into the holidays I sold out of many of my positions and have consolidated down to far fewer holdings and considerably more cash. I believe there is a chance (probably small one) of a major fall in the markets in 2008 and I'd rather miss out on the upside than suffer a 20% loss on the downside. At present am about 70% cash or very short term bonds and 30% equities. My equity positions are very tightly defined - Amazon is still an emotional hold and is my primary USD holding. The other positions are international utility or utility-like. (FSTA is my other big position - an undervalued brewer with a huge property portfolio trading under book) I am 60% USD, 25% GBP, 10% Euro and 5% other in terms of international exposure
