2010 - Week 1 and tightening the screws

Well, so far January of 2010 has been pretty good.  We finished last week up 3.12%, better than both tracking indexes (the S&P 500 TR was up 2.74%, while S&P Global 1200 TR was up 2.85%).

Before I go into the weekly performance break down, I'd like to mention that I plan tighten the screws a little bit. Right now I have a 12% stop loss set on those investments outside of the 401(k) funds.  I plan on migrating those to a slightly tighter 10%, with even further tightening possible.

Looking at the returns below, it was a big week for Metals and Mining, as well as for the emerging markets of Turkey and Indonesia.  Overall, everything was up and up, except for one fund XLU, which is a utility ETF.
