10 themes for 2010-recovering from the lost decade

Over the next few weeks,I will be sharing a number of ideas for rebuilding after the last ten years:

1) Diversification means more than just stocks from around the world
2) Move up the balance sheet…consider bonds
3) Learn about convertible debentures as a stock alternative
4) Seg funds make sense to keep you in the market and secure your retirement income
5) Guarantee your principal with a strip bond
6) Look at ETFs as a mutual fund alternative
7) Buy at least one fun or interesting stock this year
8) Use covered calls to generate income
9) Look at a hedge fund for diversification
10) Take a serious look at the cost and performance of your mutual funds

Stay tuned...
