The reining in of Microsoft failed to spook most of our ponies as inflation fears fell.
Holding first, OTC gained $535 for the week, following a $949 hike a week ago. Blue Chip stumbled, slipping $12, but held second. Third -place Lipper International moved ahead $168 and Lipper Mutual moved to fourth on $242 in profits.The Savers all profited by $8 or $9 each, but last standing in the race to the faster horses. EE Bond, Money Market and 90-Day CD held fifth, sixth and seventh, respectively.
The precious metals ponies and Bonds posted mixed results and remained poor investments this year with losses so far this year ranging from $25 to $800 on our initial $10,000 investment.
Gold lost $132 while Silver gained $167. A lack of inflation helped 30-Year T-Bond with a $58 gain, but that nag is still in the paddock.
