The AllOrds and the S&P500 were both up again for the month of May and the trend to date seems to be continuing through to June. We may have seen the worst of it but we are still not convinced the global economy is out of the recession. However, we believe with our portfolio approach to risk and diversification amongst strategies we will see some good profits. That strength of diversification is starting to demonstrate itself with the results we are strating to see and we think that some of the losses from 2008 will start to be recouped over the coming months.

Collars: Renting AU Shares

A solid month for Renting AU Shares and Renting US Stocks.

We achieved 7% return for the month and all up we are showing a Cumulative Gross Return of $9,700 or almost 14% return on our total capital.

Our portfolio in the US has recovered from some of the earlier losses and for the month of June we achieved a return of almost 4%. We are getting closer to break-even, and looking forward to catching up over the coming months.

Refer to the detailed spreadsheets for further information.

Option Spreads

As mentioned, we were taken by surprise by the resilience of the financial sector in April, which resulted in our account being down slightly overall. The biggest surprise was CBA, however we stuck to our view and rolled that trade to May and ended up breaking even on that trade. We have a couple of nice trades on for June and expect this account to recover quickly.

Share Purchase Plans

There is plenty of action in the area of SPPs at the moment. One small realised profit for May with a ROI of 7% but plenty of potential for June.

Remember the subscription to SPP’s is FREE if you join the HC Securities AutoTrader service. We use A$20,000 so that we can participate in several trades at a time, but you only need a few thousand to participate in one. That makes this a great, low risk, high return portfolio – even for those with small banks.
