Roe Capital Management February 2010 Equity Market Outlook And January Performance Update
The hangover of the December holidays typically lingers a few weeks into the new year and 2010 was no exception. Tight ranges in the S&P gave us very few trading setups early in the month. We spent a protracted amount of time out of the market. As the month wore on and equity prices began to deteriorate, our programs managed to find a few suitable trading situations. The late month expansion in volatility notwithstanding, opportunities remained few and far between and as such, ROE Capital turned in a positive month with below average trading volume. (For more information on our managed futures performance, please review our complete January performance report).
Our correlation to the S&P has begun to reverse, which is good as I expect the S&P to be under pressure all year. Our managed futures colleagues (represented in the NewEdge CTA Index above) struggled in January as well, with trends proving elusive in many markets.

Financial Planning Advice in Colorado Springs
Personal financial planning is a diverse field and includes various components like creating a budget, managing your existing debt, saving from existing income, planning for retirement and having an insurance cover that takes care of all the major aspects of a person’s life. One needs to consider all the above aspects while preparing for long term financial planning to secure your future and have the basics well sorted out. This has become more necessary, nowadays as job security has lost its meaning and recession is taking its toll.
One needs to start with preparing a planned budget and sticking to it religiously. Creating a budget helps us to have a clearer picture of the different expenses and we can then plan on prioritizing them according to the needs and curb spending that may seem a waste. Then you have to cut wasteful and extra expenditure.
