Up 92% Today

Central Virginia Bankshares Inc (CVBK) was up 92% today.  Unfortunately, it's a holding in the "Change of Heart" portfolio, our just for fun not real money portfolio.  The entire portfolio is up about 15% in three weeks.  I've spent next to zippo time managing this portfolio so I've either discovered the holy grail of investing or it's another case of plain dumb luck.  Life experience suggests the latter possibility is correct, but hope does spring eternal.

Back in the real world, there's been a crescendo of recent chatter about the coming demise of the precious metals in 2011.  I suppose such a prediction is only natural after the remarkable run gold and silver have had.  All I can say is the weekly chart of GLD below still looks positive to me.
