ETF Update: Reposition and Rebalance

Well, its been a moment since my last post. I've been bogged down doing taxes; however the workload has eased up a bit since April 15th, which has given me some time to start scouring the markets for good deals.
Although the markets and the US economy is not out of danger, I believe that there will be many opportunities out there to make money in the markets. But before you decide to jump back in, I suggest that you take a serious look at your positions and tweak your portfolio to handle the rough riding ahead.

If you are afraid to look at your investments in your 403(b) , 401K, or IRA because they have performed poorly over the last two years, then it may be time to look at what and why you are invested in certain positions. We are offering a fantastic financial planning service for the next six months that can help you reevaluate and re-balance investments that have not performed well and reposition your investments for growth in your retirement account. Don't leave your nest egg exposed. You can weather the storm nicely if you are positioned correctly. Secure and protect your dreams with financial guidance that puts you where you need to be now.
In addition, I will be publishing a series of investment help articles on our main website. Feel free to check the site periodically for advice, tips and 'edumacation' on building an investment portfolio that can better weather the business cycles and make you money.

Biotech Pump and Dump

By Rick Walter Building a good Biotechnology portfolio has turned out to be a bit of a task. I have one on the table, but feel that it's a little too aggressive and risky, especially for today's market. Funding for most Biotech ventures- old or new, have either dried up or have been put on hold. This portfolio that I am building is too much of a pure Biotech play. It would be feast or famine on the returns. Let me explain. I remember when I was a young broker, I worked for this small outfit in Florida where the office manager and a few other brokers, including myself, would get all pumped up over a stock called Celi. I believe that the stock is now trading on the Amex as (Cel-Sci: CVM ). Well the stock was always on the verge of getting approval for some phase of cancer treatment therapy. Whenever the company released news, we would run the stock up as high as the market makers would let us run it- ($1.30 to $2.30 per share) before we banged it back down to previous lows of .30...
