 Trying to catch up after marriage and kids.

My Asset Allocation - July 2012

Essentially, all of our "investments" are in our tax protected accounts. Our taxable accounts consist almost entirely and are invested in savings accounts and CD's.

 

Investment allocation:

Domestic Stock    65%

Foreign Stock        7%

Bonds            15%

Cash Equivalents    13%

 

YTD Performance:

Account 1:    + 7.14% - We are adding to this account on a bi-monthly basis. It is almost entirely invested in equity mutual funds.

Account 2:    + 3.22% - A rollover IRA, I cannot add to this account. Almost all of my Fixed Income investments are in this fund.

Finance Blog is Back

21 months into my life with a little girl, I have decided to commit to restarting my blog. I am planning on completing a weekly blog commenting on spending and the stock market.

Pray for New Orleans

We all must say a prayer for our brothers and sisters in New Orleans.

France - Can we invade again?

Why not, everyone else has. The only problem would be having to deal with them on a daily basis.

2005 - A Good Year

It is going to be a good 2005. On January 1, I managed to get in some golf while living in NYC.

Go Home to Texas

Off to Big D - home of the George Bush Highway. I cannot wait to spend Christmas with my family and friends. Merry Christmas to everyone.

Peace,

Bill

New Cabinet for Bush

Not sure why Bush is replacing his entire cabinet. It seems like there are more resignations than with past presidents. On the bright side, not real scandals with any of the cabinet secretaries.
