The Latest Numbers from Rande suite101.com What I find interesting is the return for a 50:50 TotalStock:TotalBond portfolio which is down 1.0% since 12/31/99 Compare that to Brinker's P1 and P2 that went to 60% cash and are now at 78% cash and are down even more. (p1&p2 were down 4.1 and 5.3% since 12/31/99 using the Dec MT data). ______________________________________________________ They can't all be up weeks. At least this one finished on a positive note.
