American Century Utility Income (BULIX)
SHARES 308.965 | LATEST CLOSE 17.18 (-0.33) | Real $ $5,308.02 | Real $ % 6.24% |

HOLDING #2 - Global: ADDED 08/15/2013
Artisan Global Equity (ARTHX)
| SHARES 255.459 | LATEST CLOSE 16.26 (-0.24) | Real $ $4,153.76 | Real $ % 4.88% |
| 1-DAY RET. -1.45% | 1-Mo. Ret. -3.44% | 3-Mo. Ret. 0.93% | 1-Yr. Ret. NA | Held Ret. 9.31% |
IMPORTANT NOTE: This fund ain't cheap with a 1.50% expense ratio, but while assets are low it should continue to outperform.

HOLDING #3 - Shorter Term Bond: ADDED 08/15/2013
DoubleLine Floating Rate N (DLFRX)
| SHARES 766.630 | LATEST CLOSE 10.13 (-0.04) | Real $ $7,765.96 | Real $ % 9.13% |
| 1-DAY RET. -0.39% | 1-Mo. Ret. -0.3% | 3-Mo. Ret. 0.41% | 1-Yr. Ret. NA | Held Ret. 2.18% |
IMPORTANT NOTE: For all practical purposes this is an adjustable rate junk bond fund. We don't particularly like owning funds that appeal to investors fearful of interest rates climbing as they often are taking more credit risk than they should be comfortable with. Fund inflows should help this fund. If it's not available to you, don't use another junk bond fund as an alternative, consider an investment grade short term bond fund like BSV.

HOLDING #4 - Investment Grade Bond: ADDED 08/15/2013
PIMCO BOND ETF (BOND)
| SHARES 101.780 | LATEST CLOSE 108.65 (-0.22) | Real $ $11,058.40 | Real $ % 12.99% |
| 1-DAY RET. -0.2% | 1-Mo. Ret. -0.13% | 3-Mo. Ret. 1.02% | 1-Yr. Ret. NA | Held Ret. 5.56% |

| 1-DAY RET. 0.00% | 1-Mo. Ret. 0% | 3-Mo. Ret. 0.87% | 1-Yr. Ret. NA | Held Ret. 5.92% |
IMPORTANT NOTE: Those who can access the 'I' class of PMZDX will save money here. This pick is more about the fund not the category. We expect favorably positioning at PIMCO and inflows to boost returns.

HOLDING #6 - Europe: ADDED 06/30/2010
Vanguard European ETF (VGK)
| SHARES 138.873 | LATEST CLOSE 57.36 (-1.15) | Real $ $7,965.76 | Real $ % 9.36% |
| 1-DAY RET. -1.97% | 1-Mo. Ret. -5.1% | 3-Mo. Ret. -3.54% | 1-Yr. Ret. 15.09% | Held Ret. 71.9% |

HOLDING #7 - Government Bond: ADDED 09/19/2011
Vanguard Extended Duration Treasury (EDV)
| SHARES 34.215 | LATEST CLOSE 106.29 (-0.17) | Real $ $3,636.58 | Real $ % 4.27% |
| 1-DAY RET. -0.16% | 1-Mo. Ret. 2.84% | 3-Mo. Ret. 2.55% | 1-Yr. Ret. 14.35% | Held Ret. 12.23% |
IMPORTANT NOTE: The longest duration and lowest credit risk fund you can buy because it is made up of zero-coupon government debt. This fund is here primarily because in a bad recession, one in which interest rates plummet and defaults rise (and stocks fall), EDV can go up 50% or more, and yet is a viable low-cost longer-term holding.
