		<description><![CDATA[For months and months (or maybe even a year) I&#8217;ve been banging on the table about how I expect that a decent portion of account returns for 2010 might just come from long-term (20+ years) government bonds. I anticipate that US Treasury securities will continue to be our baseline method providing the ability to persevere [...]]]></description>

I believe, in light of recent market movements that this quarter&#8217;s letter might be of interest to a broader range of folks.

It&#8217;s interesting to note that nearly every investor has been so brainwashed to this statement that they don&#8217;t really &#8221;hear&#8221; it anymore. It&#8217;s in one ear and out the other and despite the warning, most [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The latest market meltdown has gotten folks asking me about our performance as compared to the stock market (again). But I&#8217;ve always thought a little differently about comparing our management of client accounts against various indices. (The industry calls this &#8220;benchmarking&#8221;.) I find it interesting that investors would want to compare whole portfolio returns to the stock market. It’s funny how consumers [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Looking back over the last couple of months worth of posts, I&#8217;m thinking that it might appear that I&#8217;m a little opaque as to what areas of what markets you should be focusing on. I&#8217;m not, so I&#8217;ll clear things up before I go AWOL for the week. First, understand that anything can happen over the [...]]]></description>

I had to post it again because I am still baffled and befuddled by what this means. Maybe what it means is what he says? Is it even reasonable to postulate that our current economic conundrum is the simple result [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve gotten a fair number of questions about this Roth IRA conversion that&#8217;s going to be available to all IRA owners next year. The basics are that you will be able to convert all of your regular IRA-type accounts over to Roth IRAs during 2010, regardless of your income level. The million dollar questions is, [...]]]></description>

Anyway, I was thinking about IRAs last night and I wanted to remind everyone about two things with IRA accounts that are coming up. First&#8230; Our rich Uncle Sam, in his efforts to help soften [...]]]></description>

It was in December of 2008 and my little chart that I showed in the post indicated that, at that point we&#8217;d been out of the market for a year and we might be out of it a while longer too. We&#8217;ll, we&#8217;ve been out [...]]]></description>
