Explanation:

I do not include bonds (US or otherwise) or the shares of any former employer in my listing of positions.  Some positions are hedged as part of a more complex options/futures trade.  When that is the case, I will include that information relating to the other securities.

My top ten positions may include both short-term speculations and long-term holds.  I do not recommend this as a portfolio someone else should hold.  Some of these positions exist in my portfolio for either diversification reasons or because potential capital gains obligations mean that, even though I might not buy them right now.  Paying the capital gain tax does not make them worth selling.
