Low P/E Stocks with High Quarterly Earnings Surprise In A Live Portfolio
If you prefer opinions from "objective" people who keep
their money in CDs, you are in the
wrong place.
We trade the stocks we analyze. We are conflicted and afraid.
We Look For No Load Index Mutual Funds
Academic studies show that the average rate of return for no load mutual
funds is about equal to that of loaded mutual funds before
subtracting the sales load which can run 4% to 10%. Consequently, we
never buy a fund with a sales load. We
always buy no load mutual funds. We don't care
how nice the salesman talks. He is not getting 4% of our money
up front.

The economic policies of the Obama administration are a jackboot on the throat of the
economy. But, the election in 11/2012 should bring some relief. The market will rise
to discount that relief months before the election. Now is the time to start accumulating
equities. Dollar cost aveage in over the next 6 to 9 months.

2009-05-15: Position
Right now, contrary to our general philosophy of not trying to
time the market, our mutual fund portfolio is mostly in Intermediate
Term Treasury Notes. We are scared of the current
economy and policies which may prolong or deepen the
recession. As of 05/15/2009, we are projecting a double dip recession, or a
single dip (the current one) followed by a slow recovery.
Consequently, we are either in a Bear market rally, or a Bull market which will
stagnate and flatten out for an extended period. Or, we are wrong.
