Went To 99% Cash Except For GFI Calls

I decided to cut everything. The SOL, JASO, SOLR, and anything else I had, which wasn’t much because I sold half of everything earlier in the week. I won’t hesitate to buy these back if they move further up with oil prices rising. I went short earlier this week and it just didn’t work. Finally …
