Week 19; New Portfolio Added

Boring Portfolio Stock: USD77,281 Cash: USD27,073 It's already 19 weeks and nothing much has moved - but that's because it is supposed not to move much! This is an experimentation with a very capital-protected portfolio, where capital protection takes precedence over everything else (even gains). Astute investors would have noted, though, that the eroding USD (I do not live in the US) is slowly killing the value of our stagnant portfolio. I will continue working with this portfolio for at least a year or two, if not just to test its viability for the system. QQQ Portfolio Stock: USD49,735 Cash: USD50,000 I'm testing out a new system for a more violatile QQQ ETF in the States. Again, I put my naval thinking to the system - a substantial ballast of USD50,000 (half the portfolio) is set aside to watch for buying opportunities when the typhoons come. Let us see how it performs over the weeks. As usual, I will check on the system each week.
