Model Portfolio Allocation Changes- This Week

Exit Energy and Precious Metals

After holding an allocation in the Energy and Precious Metals sectors for several months, the Performance Xtender model portfolio has now triggered a signal to exit both. The 6-month investment in the Energy sector fund yielded a return of about 14%. The 4-month allocation in Precious Metals stocks produced a return of about 11%.

All of our model portfolios are now 100% in money market funds and positioned to avoid any further deterioration in the stock or bond markets.

Portfolio Changes in the Performance Xtender: The model is selling the previous allocations in both the Energy and Precious Metals sectors funds and placing the proceeds in money market funds.
