As we enter into another year, markets and precious metals have stabilized after making significant gains during 2009.  Energy prices on the other hand currently show no sign of slowing.

Personal Portfolio Holdings:  As most mutual fund’s prospectus dictate that a fund must be held for 90 days prior to selling of that fund to avoid a possible short selling fee, I plan to hold my current positions for another two weeks or so prior to making changes.

Precious Metals and Natural Resources Equities have taken a breather from the torrid rising prices we have seen the last two months.  I would expect some profit is being taken at these high levels and fiscal year ends could also be a factor regarding lower prices at this time. 

• Personal Portfolio Holdings:

No changes from last week, but looking to moving some funds into different areas of the market place in the coming weeks.

••Precious Metal Equities continue to lead the way regarding returns on investments.  At this time, I hesitate to consider the shiny stuff a rational or safe place to put my money.  A friend recently suggested to me that gold could go as high as two thousand dollars.  I personally feel gold prices are inflated and will drop to under one thousand before reaching the two thousand buck level.

I would expect to make some changes within my portfolio in the next month or so, as the 90 day short trading time for each fund will have elapsed.

All Markets dipped slightly during past week possibly due to the current Dubai monetary situation.  I believe most would agree this contentious circumstance will be rectified in the very near future and markets will continue to show strength through year end.  Precious Metal prices continue to rise on any weakness in the market place.

It would appear that China is once again about to be a leading sector in the Global Market Place.  I believe other BRIC countries and Latin America Funds will also do well in coming months.

After losing favor in recent months, China equity funds may become popular and profitable going forward.  Numbers in the coming weeks should prove interesting.

In spite of  the sell off  late in the week, market numbers reflect only a slight drop in value.  When compared to one month ago, market value has remained more or less stable.  I understand the late sell off was partly due to investors year end financial situations.  A market rebound next week would probably signify that markets are heading higher in the near term.

• With these holdings, I anticipate the value of my portfolio will  increase in value by approximately one + percent per week.  Stay informed and peruse entire site, remember investment knowledge is the key to profitability. 

As you can see, markets - energy& precious metal prices remained stable from one week ago in spite of the substantial sell off on Friday and numbers are  higher than they were a month ago.  I would expect markets to gain strength through the end of this year.
