Investment Report

July 2010

My investment performance for the month of July has lagged the market overall but I believe I have better positioned myself well for the coming months.  The Chinese currency revaluation story is out and isn't having a horrible impact either way to my investment selections.  The upside is that we have an unknown that has turned into a known and that for me is a positive.  You know you have a great opportunity for gains in a country when the only problem anyone can come up with is "overheating." 

I have reduced my turnover and expect to hold onto my positions for longer than I had previously.
