Government bonds (TLT), though a little weaker this week than they were last week, remain the best available investment. The Malaysian market (EWM) is trending up — while it is too risky at the moment, it’s visibly improved since last week. Corporate bonds (LQD) are also in an uptrend and have very little risk right [...]

Government bonds (TLT) remain the best available investment. The Malaysian market (EWM) is almost as good, though its expected return is a little lower and its risk is a little higher. As last week, real estate (IYR), though potentially a good investment, is way too risky. Corporate bonds (LQD), on the other hand, have about [...]

Government bonds (TLT) still seem like the only sensible investment at this time. The expected return for the Malaysian market (EWM) is about the same, though its risk is a little higher. Real estate (IYR) is a potentially good investment, but its risk is much higher. On the other hand, though the expected return for [...]

Government bonds (TLT) appear to be the only investment that’s increasing in value right now. Gold (GLD), which we recommended last week, is still in a good uptrend, though its strength has definitely weakened. Malaysia (EWM), an emerging market, is performing similarly to gold. Like government bonds, corporate bonds (LQD) have a pretty low risk [...]

We are recommending gold (GLD) this week, which has been in a consistent uptrend for at least three months. Other good choices include real estate (IYR) and Malaysia (EWM). Real estate, which we’ve been recommending, as well as Malaysia, are in overall uptrends. They have recently just been moving sideways, but they do have comparative [...]

With stocks dropping again last week, we are switching back into government bonds (TLT). Gold (GLD) is also decent, though government bonds are better. Corporate bonds (LQD) have a relatively low risk, but their overall performance is subpar. On Friday, real estate (IYR), which we recommended last week along with government bonds, dropped back to [...]

We’re recommending a few funds this week, including international funds, financials, real estate, and semiconductors. The uptrend in financials appears the strongest though it is relatively new. Pharmaceuticals, which we recommended last week, are still in an relatively low-risk uptrend, but the expected return for our new recommendations is higher. Bonds, particularly government bonds, are [...]

We’re switching into pharmaceuticals this week. Other funds that are performing well include biotech and corporate bonds. (follow: facebook, twitter, identi.ca, rss.)

Last week, we recommended stocks, though they were close to being overbought. Stocks did start going down abruptly mid-week, and we are no longer recommending them. Instead, we are recommending corporate bonds, which are in a low-risk up-trend.

Both smallcap and retail stocks, which we recommended last week, have had a great few days. IJR (iShares S&P SmallCap 600 Index) is up 5.66%, while our retail stocks recommendation is up 5.14%. At this point, we see smallcap as being overbought, and so we are getting out of them. Retail stocks could be close [...]
