Fund of the Week: SWFFX Schwab Financial Services

I first wrote about SWFFX Schwab Financial Services back in December of 2007. Well one of my brothers and I had some IRA cash that needed investing so we decided to put a little money into this fund in April.

This fund gained 6.24% this week which is sweet. It is still down 9.76% since I bought it which is lame.

The other big winner this week was Real Estate.

Bonds, Oil, and some international investments had a bad week with DJP iPath Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Index Total Return ETN (Broad Commodities), another fund I first mentioned back in December 08, leading the decline.
