Two weeks ago markets showed significant weakness. Not knowing how far they would drop, I felt compelled to move my equity positions into safe haven money market and cash positions. At the time of this post, indications are that this downward trend has reversed and may continue to show strength in the near term. My portfolio positions will remain until the markets appear to be more stable.

No significant changes to report from one month prior prices with the exception being energy prices. I would expect this scenario to continue through the remaining summer months….But in reality, who really knows.
