Aggressive Portfolio December 15, 2007:
The Aggressive Portfolio is currently focused on the precious, base metals and energy sectors in the belief these will out perform in the coming months. The addition of gold companies has helped to maintain value and reduced the overall volatility of the portfolio. The recent added natural gas focused companies has not added value in the short term but I would expect the natural gas sector to perform well over the next few months as winter set in over North America, a little patience should be rewarded in the new year.
Going forward I will be looking to add some emerging technology companies as this sector appears to be picking up momentum and should remain strong going in to the first half of 2008.
The portfolio has performed reasonably well when compared to the TSX composite index. The Aggressive portfolio is up 7.16% year to date compared to only 5.93% for the TSX.
