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.

However, the site overall presentation and content is very good! What about taxes? By trade I am a tax professional; I believe that all investments should be analyzed first from a tax position, before an investment decision is made. ETFs are labeled as very tax efficient vehicles. Here is a good article, in my opinion, that explains the tax efficiency issue very well for ETFs. Check our external link section for links to websites that I believe provide top notch information on ETFs, including sponsors, distributors and advisers. I will be adding to the list daily. If th...
