Again the jump in cash position has something to do with my overseas business trips expense reimbursement but at the same time also a big bonus was issued last month (puny in Wall Street standard but big to me).

What I said a month ago still holds true when reading it today "I've been working overseas in the last three weeks and didn't have time to follow the market but it probably doesn't matter because everything is just as usual - Europe continue its mess, China slowing but not stopping, US keeps muddling through, you name it."

Overall Q3 has been good and with the US presidential over by November the market should be doing better assuming the worthless US congress can avoid a fiscal cliff by reaching some kind of compromise between the two parties.
