Everyone in the news seems excited about stocks for the remainder of the year. I am too, but the indexes are high at the moment, and I only buy when they are low. So, no activity for tomorrow unless something really drastic happens. If stocks remain high, when payday comes on the 15th I'll put 100% of my 401k contribution into the Stable Value Fund so I can use the money to buy stocks later next time they're down.
This is the time to sit back and relax and enjoy the gains on all the stocks we bought when they were low in June through September.
Personal Rate of Return for year to date: 14.1%
Allocations:
31.47% Large Company Index (S&P500)
31.37% Small/Mid Cap Index (Russell 2500)
12.95% European Stock Index (MSCI® Europe Index)
10.35% Int'l Stock Mkt Index (MSCI® All Country World Ex-USA Investable Market Indx)
4.72% Pacific Stock Index (MSCI® Pacific Index)
2.67% Company Stock
6.47% Stable Value Fund
To be honest I think I could do just as well with just an S&P 500 index, one of the small Russell indexes, and the Stable Value, but I guess in theory this spreads out the risk more. I've noticed all the world stock indexes tend to go up and down pretty much together.
