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 [...]

It looks like the shakeup in stocks could be coming to a close. In our opinion, of the funds that we follow, the best fund right now is real estate (IYR), which is what we’re recommending this week. Government bonds (TLT), which we recommended last week, are still a very good choice, but real estate [...]

Our highest return last week came from DPC, an international consumer discretionary stock fund. It has earned 3.0% in a week. This week, we are recommending a fund of stocks from developed markets (excluding US) that have relative strength; an energy sector fund; a fund of US IPO’s; and, once again, a municipal bond fund.
