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’re staying with real estate stocks (IYR), as they remain the best choice from among the funds that we follow. Like the overall market, they’ve gained slightly over the past week. Other good choices include semiconductor stocks (SMH) and gold (GLD). Avoid foreign markets, such as Austria (EWO) and Japan (EWJ), as well as biotech [...]

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

A relatively minor adjustment this week. We’re still largely in the Technology Multimedia Networking fund, which we’ve been in for the past four weeks. Pharma, biotech, and Malaysia are among the other funds that are doing well.

As the Technology Multimedia Networking fund, which we’ve been in for the past three weeks, continues to gain, we are shifting even more money into it. There do not appear to be any major changes in the markets. Pharma and biotech are still among the other sectors that appear to be doing well, but we [...]

No major changes in the markets over the past two weeks. In fact, we continue to recommend networking and semiconductor sectors in the same proportions as we did last week. Other sectors that are doing well include pharma, biotech, and insurance. In our Conservative allocation, we’re getting back into utilities, which remain relatively safe.

Since networking and semiconductor stocks, which we recommended last week, continue to do well, we are recommending them again. Semiconductors are still in danger of being overbought, as are other sectors that are performing well, such as pharmaceuticals and biotech.
