This is the final weighting for the six ETFs (exchange traded funds) in the U.S. Dollar Satellite Portfolio for the coming week.

June 2010 capped a not-so-happy quarter for investors. As we go to press, I haven’t seen numbers for any of the high-profile funds, but something tells me July probably looked better on paper than it did in the accounts.

For the record, the S&P 500 Total Return Index was +7.01% for the month, bringing year-to-date performance to -0.11%. The rolling 12-month performance ended the month at +13.84%.
