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.

Goodbye Mike

Before I get going today, lets take a moment to honor an American Idol, a Music Titan , and a Perfect Representation of the Gods of Music ; I would like to send my condolences and respect to the Jackson family for the sudden passing of Michael Jackson . I am profoundly saddened by his death. I was trying to ignore the whole event- news of his death . It seemed like some sort of bad dream at first. However, reality has set in this morning and have left me almost speechless. Goodbye Michael! You will always be missed! 6/26/2009 9:41 AM

The ProShares Technology Fund picked up steam like a ferry headed to the Bahamas for the weekend, closing north of $29.00 with the last trade at $29.55. The fund's share volume increased from 179,00 shares to 312,400 shares, which is not the above average volume I was looking for but good enough to make this a positive week after days of listless trading activity. Next week, I am hoping that the fund can crack the $30 range barrier- we will see. Otherwise, have a great weekend folks. 05/29/09 05:26:38 PM If you are interested in trading this fund, would like a prospectus or have a question concerning this f...

New ETF Posting

By UCS Investment Co. The new ETF posting on the AT-ETF Exchange is the PowerShares KBW Property & Casualty Insurance Portfolio (Fund) . The Symbol is KBWP . This is a relatively new fund which opened in December of last year. The Fund is up about 1% so far this year. We are not expecting a huge run up in price in the short-term on this fund but we are looking forward to steady gains in the share price of the fund as the economy improves.
