Moderately Agressive Portfolio

By Rick Walter

The end of the year is fast approaching and its time to start thinking about doing some investment house-cleaning. Take a look at the total returns of our Moderately Aggressive portfolio posted today. This portfolio has performed very well since April '09 of this year and I expect it to continue to rack up gains as the economy continues to improve. Now, if I were a smart investor I would wait for prices to come back down a little bit before I made a move but the risks are that quality assets, and most fund managers know what they are, could get a bit pricier. Finally, its the beginning of earnings reporting for the third quarter of the year, so we should begin to get a clearer picture of the financial health of many companies. We should keep in mind though that many companies normally report not-so-stellar performances in the third quarter of the year.

Portfolio Update

By Rick Walter I have posted a new Biotechnology portfolio . It's total return as of November 25, 2009 is 3.4%. However, to download and use it you will have to subscribe to the portfolio, of course. On an important note, I consider each portfolio to be well diversified in its particular sector but I've recently decided to add stock futures and options positions to each portfolio which will increase each portfolio's return but lower the risks going forward.
