The picture in the article is interesting. At least I think so.

Sure wish the "C & I" funds would out perform the "S" fund for a little bit like it did in January. I know they will for sure if I go back to 100% "S".

Well, The C Fund out performed the S Fund yesterday. Shoot, it out performed most of last year. I'd say it's time the S Fund got a little more back.

Actually, May is a good time for the S Fund. It was the winning fund 9 out of the last 17 years since its inception. That's more than the other funds combined. I find that surprising since many people are afraid of losing their sticky pants in May even though the F & G Funds only won 4 of thos 17 years.

Interesting and true. I decided on yesterday that I would change my allocations to reflect your statement. I'm in for the ride! Woo Hoo!

"Is our universe unique? From science fiction to science fact, there is a concept that suggests that there could be other universes besides our own, where all the choices you made in this life played out in alternate realities. The concept is known as a "parallel universe," and is a facet of the astronomical theory of the multiverse..."

Two really neat telescopes. Neither one is cheap. Unfortunately the great deal on the Hiuni ends this morning at 11am. This is also the first time I have seen either article.
