Volitle Week Takes Model Portfolio for a Bumpy Ride

As I am sure everyone saw, Wall Street gave us quite a week to remember. It is a good week to remind everyone to choose entries carefully and be sure you have conviction about the companies you are willing to invest your hard earned dollars in. Quality companies were flocked too Friday just as quickly as they had been ran from, if not faster. Another up day in the markets and the stellar companies will shine through once again. The portfolio remains solid with some of our very speculative and emerging market stocks still down a bit. It should also be noted that overall portfolio performance is beating the S&P 500 easily.
