Bear Market

I recently found this fund made for Bear Markets, so I think it might do well at least through the next period. It's less than a year old but seems to progressively be going up (after the initial spike) and drop from May on. I'm going to check it out. An...

RNT

“Diversify, proven leaders, dividends, and a little bit of intuition„

I'm in it for the long term. Most of my stocks I will keep minimally 6 months, but I'm sorting things out in the first month. That means I'll be trading quite a bit the first month. With the market the way it is, though, I can make no sure statements about what I will do until I find what seems to be the right blend...
