• Personal Portfolio Holdings:
No changes from prior week. Although my personal charts have returned to a buy position, (temporarily?) I will remain in money market and cash holdings for awhile longer. My reasons for staying in the safe mode are quite simple actually. Many corporate quarterly financial reports from major players like Microsoft and Xerox have recently posted dramatic losses in their quarterly reports. This may very well be an indication of things to come and we would probably see the markets drop accordingly.
