Breaking: EU chief feels 'betrayed' by Greece

From earlier - ECB to decide on Greek emergency funding on Wednesday - Nowotny

Taken a lot of longs this morning and now find myself 97% invested which is a little disconcerting as very little left if it goes much lower.

Personally I think all the bad news is now out but I know the market has a habit of doing whatever it wants.

Let's hope so CC - I find myself more exposed to RDSB than I'd like.

I suspect alot of people have more RDSB than they'd like Skinny. I've been adding and adding and now reached a point of I would need a stonkingly good price to buy any more

Not overweight commodities overall though which is fortunate. Got a few Weir (sold out from LAM and switched into these) and for whatever reason I seem to have got into VSVS at a decent price which is going very nicely.

Mostly I have banks, builders, industrials and a bit of insurance.

oh and SPHR (medical devices) which is either a 10 bagger within 3-5 years or worth nothing
