Personal Portfolio Holdings:  Finally after two months watching my charts trending downward, they have turned the corner and continue climbing into positive territory.  I have recently moved my cash positions to the following equity funds.

Bissett Energy Fund  (see chart)

Bissett Microcap Fund  (see chart)

Sentry Select Mining Opportunities  (see chart)

20 percent still in cash holdings

After selling my equity mutual fund equity positions and moving to cash holdings the Dow dropped approx. 1200 points and the TSE lost about 700 - 800 points.   Feel free to check back to my mid April posts to confirm.  

Conclusion: I didn’t see any need to get back into equity funds and be subject to unnecessary risks short term risks.  Volatility is an ugly – ugly  word…… For those that have visited this web page and read my investment strategies and have not followed this advice accordingly, I truly feel sorry for the losses you have incurred.  Take heart, as markets trend upward again you will regain portfolio values lost. 

And things keep changing….  No one person or advisor will be able to predict the length or extent of the current market irregularities, only time and wise investment strategies will prevail.  Keep tabs on my personal mutual fund investments and strategies posts to not only safeguard your personal portfolio during market downturns, but also to maximize your returns when markets are on the upswing.

Personal Portfolio Holdings:  I realize this is getting boring–but–On the positive side, my personal charts are beginning to show some strength, so maybe thing are about to turn positive.

100%  Cash.     A few week’s ago I  stated that Global and North American markets hardly flinched following recent negative news re: Goldman Sach’s / Greece etc.  and I would expect to become re-invested in mutual funds associated with the best performing sectors of the global market place in the very near future.  Well since that time, the market place certainly didn’t give me any assurance that present tumultuous conditions are going away any time soon.  Since selling my equity positions the Dow has dropped nearly 1000 points and the TSE is down 800 or so points.   Conclusion: I don’t see any need to get back into equity funds at this time and be subject to unnecessary risks in the short term.  Volatility is an ugly – ugly  word……An alternate investment strategy may come into play shortly that will reflect current  global market conditions.  For those that have visited this web page and read my investment strategies and have not followed advice accordinly, I truly feel sorry for the losses you have incurred. 

And things keep changing….  As charts above indicate, things have’nt really changed much in the last little while.  No one person or advisor will be able to predict the length or extent of the current market irregularities, only time and wise investment strategies will prevail.  Keep tabs on my personal mutual fund investments and strategies posts to not only safeguard your personal portfolio during market downturns, but also to maximize your returns when markets are on the upswing.
