I tracked and charted timber futures and Eastern Airlines stock price. I have been observing and speculating on the markets ever since.

In 1991 I decided to make investing my profession and started the Chartered Financial Analyst program that year and earned the right to use the CFA designation in 1996. In 2004 I had a brief exposure to the brokerage industry and was required to get my licenses NASD Series 7, 66; which I did. In 2005 I started Fluetsch Financial Services, LLC because it was the only way I could provide the kind of service that I could be proud of and stand behind.

Technically Speaking: Barclays Aggregate not safe?

Barclays Aggregate not safe?

Just the other day the Alaska Permanent Fund CIO declared fixed income is not safe and cited a bond they lost 100% on.
(APFC now hires form API)

Dear Mr. Scott, the Barclays Aggregate looks damn safe and not all that volatile, what charts are you looking at?

Well you are right about that, when you decompose the Barclays Aggregate you see not all fix income is not created equal. Sorta the whole purpose behind diversification would you say?
