March portfolio update

The monkey portfolio continues to trail the overall S&P, but the gap has closed. Federal Home Loan continues to drag the portfolio down, and I don't see that changing as long as the problems at Fannie Mae continue--Freddie Mac will be linked in whatever fallout there is. Fluor has almost recovered from its (perceived) disappointing earnings report, and JC Penney reflects the general surge in retail stocks this month.

Just past halfway in the month--the monkeys need to hope for divine intervention. (Above image from careerbuilder.com. Click the spreadsheet below for a larger version.)
