Cash & Savings: $80,414 (-0.76%)
Foreign Currency: $29,615 (-0.13%)
US Brokerage: $77,037 (12.02%)
Overseas Brokerage: $34,795 (16.93%)
401(k): $31,797 (7.97%)
IRA: $63,533 (6.21%)
Roth IRA: $18,381 (7.24%)
Total Assets: $335,572 (6.32%)

In May again the best performance comes from emerging markets. Stock market also had a significant run in the US but not as large as overseas.

I'm waiting for the pull back to get back into the stock market only looking for companies with strong cash flow and high yield.

April 2009 - another stellar performance of the stock market worldwide

IRA: $59,816 (11.19%)

In April the best performance comes from my overseas brokerage that focuses on emerging markets. Within the US the stock market is also doing quite well, but the old saying of sell in May then go away can still be very true.
