Notes:
- Positions are as of the open of Oct. 20, 2008. Numbers may exceed 100% due to leveraged trades or may not equal 100% due to rounding.
- Returns on ongoing and closed trades are based on my own positions, not the underlying market prices. My own return may differ from the market return because of how well the fund I use tracks the market. In some cases, my return is based on a leveraged fund and may also include currency exchange into Canadian dollars.
