ER Portfolio Allocation - February 2006

As promised, here is my current asset allocation...

Overall, I'm pretty happy with the allocation and weights. Here are my thoughts on several of the assets:

• Commodities - I'm pretty weighted toward oil due to my investments in HTE, PVX and PSPFX and I'm not aware of any instruments to get non-energy commodities into my portfolio. Even though I'm under my policy weight, I won't be adding more investment dollars to this asset class anytime soon.
• Domestic Equity - I'm light here but since I haven't included my company stock options in this allocation, I'm not going to make any changes.
• Timber - Once again, I'm light but I'm still a bit skittish on putting more money into a single investment like this. I may buy some more on a market dip.
• Emerging Equity - I'm running heavy and I have one particular investment (SDA) that I should sell but it's got a sizable ($4k) short-term capital gain. It also happens to be in one of my kiddie accounts which makes my decision making even more difficult.
• Equity Market Neutral - All of my EMN holdings are in Hussman's Strategic Growth fund (HSFGX). Even thought I'm over weighted, I'm really enamored (usually a bad thing when your talking about an investment) with this fund and I'm going to 'stay put'. I may even adjust my policy allocation to match my holdings.

This allocation is comprised of 26 stocks, 9 ETFs and 6 mutual funds. I'll detail my investments and their respective asset classes in future postings.
