401K Analysis - 8/5/12

The S&P500 (SPY) points long. This sets the stage for going deeper into equities in my 401K and less in bond funds like Fidelity Government Income.
I am expecting a pullback in August and then a push up but it will be hard to time that and easier to just follow my monthly analysis. In any case, the fund selections are somewhat mild and weighed with bond funds to partially neutralize any steep drops.

Going into my current company’s 401K the top funds selected by my monthly analysis are Fidelity Equity Income, Fidelity Fund and Fidelity Government Income fund.  See charts below on all these funds. I will move some money out of the money market and place it into Fidelity Fund and Fidelity Equity Income Monday. I already have monies in Fidelity Govt Income.

As far as the 401K analysis on my previous employer’s funds, I see that top of the picks is Cohen & Steers Realty fund that I have already been invested in. No change required for that. Next picks are PIMCO Real Retn Admin and American Century Equity Income Instl..  I will move money away from the PIMCO Glbl Bond and Fidelity Contrafund into these two on Monday.

Fidelity typically requires you to keep money in funds for 1 month minimum, 30 days I think. Otherwise they hassle you with real threats to freeze you from changing investments and make you feel like a common criminal. Some funds have longer requirements for investing otherwise they charge a redemption fee. I think the funds selected here are not affected by that; but it always weighs on my mind.
