Fluetsch Financial Services, LLC 5730 North Douglas Hwy #B Juneau, AK 99801 (907)523-1029 www.fluetschfinancialservices.com brad@fluetschfinancialservices.com *************************************** I was first exposed to the markets in high school when my math class received the school districts first Apple IIE's (1981). I tracked and charted timber futures and Eastern Airlines stock price. I have been observing and speculating on the markets ever since. I graduated from Washington State University with a BA in Business Administration and minor in Economics (1986). 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: Tactical tilting can add value

Tactical tilting can add value

So a couple weeks ago I suggested that you sell some SPY and buy XLE in order to capture some of the performance discount. Well if you listened you added about 6 percent of value.

I sold XLE Friday October 15 and moved dollar for dollar back into SPY and captured the difference.
