1) Actually bought some Camdemco as I felt the Uranium crisis was overdone, but cut loss the following Monday when Merkel came out to announce phasing out of Nuclear plants. Was actually very stupid as I still do not have time to do comprehensive study. PE was still v high >20, so should not have gone it yet. Prior to the Japanaese EQ the Uranium sector was overvalued

2)Bought some Infineon as I wanted exposure to the new Smart Grid, EV, High Energy Costs play. It is ard 13 PE with cash about 20% its equity. But I have to becareful of gross margins (assumption that it continues to hold) as now we seem to be on the high of Business Cycle

3)Portfoilio down 10% , need to get rid of unwanted work! and concentrate what I do best

4)EV is slow to pick up, but estimate is 2013 where
