The year at a glance:
12/31/10 12/30/11 percent
SPY 125.75 125.5 -0.2%
TLT 94.12 121.25 28.8%
GLD 138.72 151.99 9.6%
SLV 30.18 26.94 -10.7%
EEM 47.64 37.94 -20.4%
IWM 78.25 73.75 -5.8%
The clear winner for 2011 is U.S. long treasuries. Clear loser is emerging market stocks. Gold held its own for its 11th straight up year. Silver managed a loss despite a run back up to near all time highs.
There were mini-crashes in silver, and stocks. I got caught in both, and a few big losing trades made break even for the year a decent result. I think I am down just a tad for blog posted option trades. It was a deep hole that I dug with some ill-timed put sales in SLV, SPY and IWM. I had some decent winners with some put backratios.
