I wouldn't be in such a rush if I were you. Nothing great.

Liquidity would be the only reason in my opinion. This may or may not be an issue.

Some good core holdings are PRPFX, HSTRX, GLRBX.

Futures up. I was just listening to Richard Bove. He made a comment that I liked. He said after the last week or so we he is baffled. He said people are worried about our debt and downgrade and have flocked to treasuries. People are pulling money out of bank stocks to buy CDs. He said he is completely confused. Btw, 2 weeks ago he went completely to cash. Good call.
What are you thoughts on this? It seems like we are increasingly more likely to see QE3 which should drive the dollar down further. However, the dollar seems to be building a base over the last 3 months. I just think we are the tallest midget in the room right now and can't figure out which way to go on this. I think it may be extremely volatile, but it will continue its overall trend south. Any thoughts.

Yes, he is still married to Sonya.

one is a 20-YR with a near 6% yield, but all other bond related holdings are funds
Thats a good one. I know you are a Vanguard guy, but have you ever looked at HSTRX? That has been a real good fund for us during the summer months to reduce overall volitility.

Nothing wrong with that. Good luck to you.

I assume if I have a spouse, who stays at home, that she could do $49,000.00 into SEP
I don't think so. I don't think they have a spousal SEP IRA like they have a spousal Traditional IRA. These are really questions for your CPA. Sorry, wish I could more.

This helped.
Do you own any metal ETFs? On the fixed side, do you buy individual bonds or funds?

In reality, I am down 1.9% since the decline began and through yesterday.
Do you mind sharing your allocation? TIA.
The SEP is easier because you don't have to file a 5500. The ind. 401(k) allows you to put more in because of the matching. You can also borrow against the ind. 401(k) and not the SEP. For most people, the SEP will do just fine.

Aside from the shenanigans really taking hold last week, IDK how you can say the market isn't focused on earnings when we literally are just finishing the reporting period.
I didn't say it, he did. I assume he was talking about all earnings (Q1 & Q2) not just Q2. Also, the market had been focused on our debt issues, Greece, Italy, Spain pretty heavily. I assume that is why he said that once we focus back on earnings and companies making money. We should move higher. I am just passing this on, because I thought some of you would find this interesting.
Yesterday I sent an email to partner of ours that manages money in CT. He is a very well know money manager and global economist. He has been a guest on CNBC several times. I basically asked him about his thoughts on the health of the markets today. Below is his response to me:
The S&P just went through it's 200 day moving average. That is a correction not a bear market. We are still some ways away from our signals for a bear market.
This is not a bear market. Earnings are really good. As soon as the market starts focusing on earnings, the market will come back. And gold and silver will retreat.
Now is the time to be buying stocks not getting out of them. In all my writings I said this was going to be a very weak summer and it is. Starting in a couple of months we will see a big movement up in the stock market. Not because the economy is great, but because earnings are great and will continue.
The economy is what it has been for the last two years, it was just masked by all the stimulus, QE's and bailouts. But the underlying economy has been flat thru all that time. It hasn't really slowed, only compared to the artificial stimulus from the Fed and congress.
What we are seeing is noise and not important, following the growth in overall earnings is what people need to be focused on. That is in the long run what drives the stock market.

I was stopped out of SLV and AGQ today, but still own IAU and UGL with a stop set. Also picked up more RES after their recent selloff.

I added to my RES and UAN position today.
ETA: I may open a position in MMR before the end of the day.

I apologize. Strike it from the record.
In that case I bought RES at $18 and still own it at $26.77.
