Managers’ Special Report: Buys & Sells – Speculative Equity Funds

Based on data from August 3 , 2010

Speculative equity funds (Class 1 and 2  for newsletter subscribers)

There were many trades among our speculative fund holdings this month. The domestic trend reversed last month, as foreign funds outpaced their U.S. counterparts, and we added positions in highly ranked emerging markets funds and ETFs. We favor funds and ETFs that invest in multiple countries, rather than single country funds.  Among sector funds, gold fell sharply in July and was replaced by higher ranked real estate.

This month, we are selling gold and some small cap funds and ETFs, and adding substantially to emerging markets. We are also adding to mid-cap growth, and some REITs.
