Lazy Portfolios Through November 2010
The lazy portfolios did not all move in lock step during November — some went up and some went down. The PRPFX mutual fund took the lead with a monthly gain of 1.4% while the Paul Boyer PP and Harry Browne PP stayed relatively flat for the month. IFA Index Portfolio 100 gained over 1% (est.) to vault into 2nd place for 2010. The biggest loser for November was the Scott Burns’ Five Fold Portfolio losing 3.3% due to its REIT and foreign bond holdings. One more month go to and we can crown the 2010 Lazy Portfolio champion.
