SET Portfolio Update December 2013
December 3, 2013 Happy Holidays! It’s hard to believe 2013 is nearly over. It has flown by… As we wind down the last few weeks of 2013, the stock market continues to push higher. The S&P 500 climbed to a new all-time high of 1,813 on Friday. Amazingly, the large cap index is up more […]
SET Portfolio Update November 2013
November 5, 2013 Dear Sector ETF Trader Reader, As we head into the final months of the year, remember to take time away from the everyday grind of work and your investments to spend time with friends and family. After all, what is all of your hard work for if you don’t take a moment […]
SET Portfolio Update October 2013
October 1, 2013 Dear Sector ETF Trader Reader, We’re kicking off the month of October with more stupidity out of Washington. Our elected leaders failed to reach a deal to fund the Federal Government. Now the government is shut down. And we’re being held hostage by the stupidity of these fringe interests. And there are […]
SET Portfolio Update September 2013
September 3, 2013 Dear Sector ETF Trader Reader, I hope you enjoyed your Labor Day weekend. Words can’t explain how excited I am for the return of football… I watched too many college games to count and ate more than my fair share of burgers and great BBQ. The holiday also marked the end of […]
SET Portfolio Update August 2013
August 6, 2013 Dear Sector ETF Trader Reader, It’s August and I’m sweating it out in the summer heat here in Scottsdale. I know it’s a “dry heat” but 110 degrees still feels like an oven. But that’s nothing compared to how hot the stock market is right now. It seems like stocks will continue […]
SET Portfolio Update July 2013
July 2, 2013 Dear Sector ETF Trader Reader, I’ll admit it, I was dead wrong about Fed Chairman Bernanke’s comments after the FOMC meeting a few weeks ago. The day before the FOMC meeting I said, “The world needs the US to keep interest rates low. And the only way Bernanke can reassure investors that […]
SET Portfolio Update June 2013
June 4, 2013 Dear Sector ETF Trader Reader, It’s been another solid month for the stock market. In fact, eight of our open trades hit new highs since the last issue came out just two weeks ago. But it hasn’t been all sunshine and teddy bears for investors… Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke knocked the wind […]
SET Portfolio Update May 2013
May 7, 2013 Dear Sector ETF Trader Reader, There’s no doubt about it – The S&P 500 is on a roll. The large cap index is up 14% year-to-date and it’s hitting fresh all-time highs again this week. And if you include dividends, the S&P 500 has been up 10 out of the last 11 […]
SET Portfolio Update April 2013
April 2, 2013 Dear Sector ETF Trader Reader, It finally happened… After flirting with new all-time highs over the last few weeks, the S&P 500 finally broke through last week. The large cap index closed at a new all-time high before the markets shut down for a three day weekend. The significance of the breakout […]
SET Portfolio Update March 2013
March 5, 2013 Dear Sector ETF Trader Reader, As I write this morning, the Dow is hitting new all-time highs. It’s really amazing how far the market has come over the last four years. And now the large cap index has erased all of the losses it sustained in the financial crisis. This is obviously […]
