I have PE values but I don't know how or why and I wish they were better. In my previous post I mentioned Barra.com. Unfortunately I haven't visited that site in couple years. I may not get every thing right but from what I understand a few years ago Citigroup took over the Standard and Poors growth and value indexes, created 6 new indexes and changed the simple higher or lower than average book value criteria of what is a growth and value. It was like a bunch of clueless knuckleheads just crap all over Cowboy Dickrdoo's good thing and made 20 years of data suspect. For about a year or so I could not find monthly updates and none too happy about that the change in value/growth criteria. I was lost at sea and no one was going to pay for it! About a year ago I found my S&P growth and value at www2.standardandpoors.com but not in the wonderful barra.com monthly updated form. The overall large, mid, and small cap index PE values are updated monthly. Whereas the value and growth index PE values are updated quarterly usually about 6 months behind. For example the last value and growth PE values update was 3rd quarter of 2007 or 9/30/07. This was a big improvement over being lost at sea but it's just not as good as it was. My monthly PE values are guesses especially the foreign and emerging PE values. I compare the overall (75% IVV, 18% IJH, 7% IJR) Morningstar forward PE value to the EEM and EFA Morningstar forward PE value and translate into S&P PE values that aren't the same as previous year earnings. I have PE values but I don't know how or why and I just try my best to get them right. Buys: SP500 Growth (IVW) SP400 Growth (IJK) SP600 Growth (IJT) Foreign (EFA) SP500 Value ( IVE)
SP600 Value(IJS) Emerging (EEM) April's Rational Exuberance Updated I outlined my strategies in my original post. This is just an allocation update. More than usual has change. April's Rational Exuberance Size and Style Allocations Buys: SP400 Growth (IJK) SP600 Growth (IJT) Foreign (EFA) Sells: SP500 Value ( IVE) SP600 Value(IJS) Emerging (EEM) Coming up May 1 is my sector allocations and demographic updates and I might plug the MOFQX April 15

It not tax day it's Marketocracy Masters 100 day. It's been three years since MOFQX made the 250 stocks in lieu of 1000 stocks change and revamped it's M100 selection process and/or criteria and/or weighting. Since that time MOFQX has done very well. From April 15, 2005 to April 15, 2008 without taking fees in consideration: MOFQX +47.90%
At present Marketocracy Masters 100 is only a 3 star fund but in the next few years it going to be a 5 star fund worth buying when it was only a 3 star fund. The intuitive odds are stacked in MOFQX's favor. Yours Truly, Cowboy Dickrdoo Coming up next Sector and International Demographic allocations May first | ||

My Barney Google Sector Trifecta Fund needed to be cleaned up so my sector update came a little early and it's back to being silly. Barney Google, with the goo-goo-goo-ga-ly eyes. Barney Google bet his horses would win the trifecta prize. When the horses ran that day, Barney's horses ran the other way. Barney Google, with the goo-goo-goo-ga-lay eyes had a wife three times his size. When Barney Google's horses ran the other way, she divorced him. Now Barney Google with the goo-goo-goo-ga-lay eyes lives with his horses The Sector Contestants are: Oil & Gas Service (PXJ) "Pipeline": 1.72 PEG I'm going to bet 27% on Pipeline to win. Bet 22% on Accidental Collision to place. Bet 17% apiece on Nurse Ratched, Where's Bob, and Flying Saucer. In other words I think Oil & Gas Services, Insurance, Health Services, Building & Construction and Semiconductors are the best sectors to over weight. Yours Truly, Cowboy Dickrdoo | ||

In my March/April update I talked a little bit about how my PE values aren't as good as they used to be. I just visited Standard and Poors web site and found the fourth quarter update PE values which changed my allocation numbers. Buys: SP400 Growth (IJK) SP600 Growth (IJT) Foreign (EFA) Sells: SP500 Value ( IVE) SP600 Value(IJS) Emerging (EEM) Coming up International Demographic update and May's updated rational exuberance numbers around the 10th. Thank you Cowboy Dickrdoo | ||

My international demographic fund needed some cleaning up. Here are my international allocations: Singapore (EWS) South Korea (EWY) Austria (EWO) Thailand (TF) Hong Kong (EWH) Germany (EWG) Brazil (EWZ) China (FXI) Just like my sector allocations these international allocations are updated once every 3 or 4 months. To summary where my CDETF fund should be at: 23% Large Cap Growth Yours Truly Cowboy Dickrdoo | ||
