SET Portfolio Update October 2009
October 6, 2009 I can’t believe it’s already October. It’s finally starting to cool off here in the desert. And the last few weeks we’ve seen Wall Street cool off too. The markets have backed off of their highs the last few weeks. But I’m not worried. The reality is the market isn’t going to […]
SET Portfolio Update September 2009
September 1, 2009 Don’t look now but the NASDAQ’s lagging the S&P 500 and the Dow for the last three weeks. This is major reversal for the indices. The tech heavy NASDAQ’s been leading the markets higher all year. Why the sudden change? What’s going on? What makes this really puzzling is the recent industry […]
SET Portfolio Update August 2009
August 4, 2009 Did the case for a “V” shaped recovery just get stronger? I think so. I’ll tell you why in a minute. But first, let’s take a look at what happened in the markets over the last month (because it’s been great for our ETFs). Last month the market was sitting at a […]

The next big move will likely be decided by the winner of this tug o’ war. If technology stocks regain […]
SET Portfolio Update June 2009

SET Portfolio Update May 2009
May 5, 2009 The markets continue to march higher. Both the Dow and S&P 500 are back up to their late January/February highs. And the best performing broad based index, the NASDAQ, has broken out to fresh year-to-date highs and reached its 200-day moving average. Will this be the resistance point that finally turns back […]
SET Portfolio Update April 2009
April 7, 2009 Just a month or so ago, investor negativity was so thick you could feel it. Every headline seemed to send the market further down. But things started to change over the last month. As I noted in the March issue, negative news out of GE actually sent the stock price up. This […]
