Note: During February <strong>of</strong> 2012, we performed some re-balancing <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> portfolio<br />
to better align <strong>the</strong> sectors with our original intent <strong>of</strong> 60% S&P 500 Index Fund, 20%<br />
Wilshire 3500 Fund Index, and 20% Short Term Bond or Money Market Fund.<br />
Whenever <strong>the</strong>re is significant increase in stock market value, rebalancing is necessary<br />
to adjust exposure to equity markets. In this recent rebalancing, we reduced <strong>the</strong><br />
exposure in <strong>the</strong> Vanguard 500 index and shifted it to <strong>the</strong> Fidelity Cash Reserves,<br />
thus remaining in balance with our goals.
