Weekend Update

The Top 15 and 50 charts have been updated.




The Top 15 have not changed in over a week. Since about 40% of their collective capital is in cash/bonds I view them as moderately aggressive right now. Considering how poorly the I fund has performed so far this year this group has maintained significant exposure to it, twice as much as either the C or S. This is in contrast to the Top 50.




The Top 50 have seen a marked increase in stock exposure the past week, but still much lower than the Top 15 at < 40% overall. Not much I fund exposure here and more emphasis on the S fund. F Fund has found some favor as well.

The top 50 in the S-Fund I can understand, but the top 15 in the I-Fund? Perhaps each person has a mixed allocation, or perhaps some people refuse to sell when they have taken a big hit. I see nothing rosy about the EURO, or the PIGS.

I don't like the I fund either. Dollar upside is real until proven otherwise.

The Top 15 breakout like this. Three of them are 100% I fund, while two have a 50% allocation. Six have no I fund allocation at all. Seems we have some high risk types in this grouping.

Thanks for the breakdown on the top 15. As for those I-Funders I should point out if you want to win big you have to think big and be willing to take on more risk. I was a big loser last year becuase I was afraid to take on risk.
