Stocks in August

Back in June I wrote about investing during the recession.

Last week (on August 17th) I checked how our investments are doing. Since December 18th our portfolio is up 14%. The S&P500 went up 11% during that time.

I'm amazed we're continuing to beat the market. During normal economic times that is very hard to do, especially with a portfolio whose main goal is to balance types of risk.
