It is time to buy!

If you have been following my blog you would have reduced you market positions on November 8, 2010. On the Saturday before I made the call to reduce holdings in the market. On 11/08/2010 the NASDAQ closed at 2580. Today the NASDAQ closed at 2357. I am going to assume you would have made some money in a money market fund.

I have gone from a 50 percent cash position to a 130 percent long position. (Symbol TNA but in limited portions).

The 20011 IRA portfolio in trouble?

The 2011 IRA portfolio
The 2011 portfolio is out! Check it out!
Ihe 2011 portfolio is 1 percent behind the S&P 500 index as of this long Easter weekend. One percent is not a huge lead. The portfolio has 20 percent global stock funds which have not done well this year. The Westcore Select fund is up a nice 11.3 % YTD!

The Closed End Fund Portfolio


The Closed End Fund Portfolio
The closed end portfolio is a list of what I believe to be the best value in closed end funds at this time. Having never lost money in a closed end fund I find them more attractive as I approach retirement. At this time I am short term bearish on the market and would wait for a market dip to add new money.
