•Personal Investment Portfolio:
I realize this is getting boring, but my cash and money market positions will remain as such for awhile longer. My personal charts tell me it’s time to get back into mutual fund equities, but experience reminds me that things could change drastically in the coming weeks. Hey if I am wrong, I erred on the side of caution.

As numbers above indicate most areas of the market place took a breather this past week. Has the upward trend of the past few months reached highs that are unsustainable for the short term? The usually gloomy market month of September is just around the corner. If history dictates we should see a correction of some sort in the coming weeks/months. On the other hand, if markets continue to climb through Sept. and October, it should be quite a ride through to years end. My opinion of course………
