Weekly Trades

The Old

Last week, there were no trades. Since we were late with Issue 3, readers might have missed that during the last week of February and through March 9, we sold all our remaining shares of ultra short (double inverse return) ETFs with the exception of the UltraShort MSCI Emerging Markets ProShares ETF (EEV), which we may sell soon. We also added a 5% position in Energy Growth & Income Fund (FEN), a master limited partnership.

Figure 5 reviews major index and asset class fund returns for the week ending March 13, 2009 along with month-to-date (MTD) and year-to-date (YTD) returns. It also lists the AI 75-50 Portfolio's over weight (OW); neutral (N) or underweight (UW) positions relative to the Dow Jones Global Stock Index. Here you can see that we will soon be long the NASDAQ 100 Index (QQQQ) and short Eurozone stocks (EZU).
