[RT] Mutual Fund Trading, Potential Strategies, RYDEX Expanded 10:30 am Deadline

[Jpilleafe@xxxxxxx]

Hello RT'rs,

I suspect we are within a week of 
entering another "difficult" market envirionment,...
likely renewed selling pressure into late Sept low,...
so time to formulate some strategies for the 
next couple of months. 

With regard to trading mutual funds,..I would appreciate knowing what others 
are doing here,..if you have any specific mutual fund trading strategies to 
capitalize on a renewed downtrend,..etc.   

For new ideas,...I have been looking at the possibility of trading between 
Rydex Bond fund and Juno fund as something "different". My thought was to 
use Rydex asset levels in their Bond/Juno funds in conjunction 
with traditional technical analysis of an interest rate chart.   But in 
general I am open minded to any approach where end of day priced 
mutual funds can be used as trading vehicles.  

Also I'm looking at how to approach Rydex's newly expanded 10:30 am 
deadline (in addition to their 3:45 pm deadline),...again seeking a strategy 
to take advantage of this "opportunity".   Anyone know of a "well founded" 
strategy here?

And lastly am open minded to an early August low in the XAU,..
have considered dollar averaging into some partial positions over the 
next two weeks. 

Again,..if you have any ideas,...thanks in advance for sharing.  

Have a good week ahead,..enjoy the summer which is passing quickly. 

Best Regards, JIM Pilliod  jpilleafe@xxxxxxx
