Portfolio Changes For 4th Quarter 2006

Fidelity Value Discovery (FVDFX) was added to our Mid Cap Core funds, and Northern Small Cap Value (NOSGX) gives you an alternative in the Small Cap Value category. We did not remove any funds from our recommended list this quarter.

Asset Allocations For 4th Quarter 2006

Now that the Fed has decided to stop raising interest rates, we’re moving 2% of our allocation from Short Term Bonds to Intermediate Bonds to increase the income in our portfolio.
