My current holdings are still my core ones..

EEM
IWM
QQQQ
DIA
SPY

got a lot of nice LONG terms gains. I am in it for the long HAUL.. if youra trader and your in the top tax bracket you have to beat the indexes by double consistantly to just break even ! I have learned the hard way that buy and hold index etfs is the way for me to best invest and sleep well at night. I do play around here and there but its with a very small % of my portfolio.. no more than 10% in risky shots in the dark. and put stops on those so ya dont loose much if they start to go south.
