Date updated:06-04-2007

This is a portfolio I created on my blog about a year ago. After a reader asked me a follow up question recently I dusted it off and wrote an article for RealMoney that should be out shortly.

You can click through to my blog or the article to see the weightings of each holding. Remember this was simply an exploration of a concept not something I actually implemented for clients. The funds chosen are not the most popular but I wanted to draw in most of the ETF providers

I use defense stocks in every portfolio, as opposed to the ETF, to ahve a chance of having something go up if there is ever a terror attack again. I should note that some clients do own the ETF.
