The Robinson Report           A quick and simple weekly market performance report.
Friday, June 24, 2005

 

 


Week in review:  

  • A difficult week for all equity classes (the exact opposite of last Friday's report)  

  • Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan and Treasury Secretary John Snow defend free market principals before the Senate Finance Committee as some politicians push for import tariffs. Protectionism? (not good)   

  • Weekly jobless claims drop 20k to 314k (good)

  • Crude oil touches $60/barrel (ouch)

  • New home sales rose to the second-highest level on record in May at the same time corporate purchases of durable goods unexpectedly stagnated, evidence economic growth has become more dependent on the housing boom

Important Performance Disclosure Information  

Asset Class returns are represented by market indexes that are unmanaged baskets of securities. Investors cannot directly invest in market indexes. Foreign securities involve additional risks, including foreign currency changes, political risks, foreign taxes and different methods of accounting and financial reporting.

Portfolio Performance is the total return of seven unique asset allocation strategies that seek to fit the distinct needs of different investor goals, risk tolerance levels and investment time horizon. Each portfolio contains up to 16 individual funds totaling over 4000 securities, managed by OppenheimerFunds. The portfolios are designed to create efficient diversification through the selection of mutual funds that may have a  low correlation between asset classes. The purpose of these tables and charts is for you to follow specific market indexes, observe asset class rotation and to compare actual portfolio returns net of management fees. Asset allocation strategy is available here.     

 

Before investing in any of the OppenheimerFunds, investors should carefully consider a fund's investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. The fund's prospectus contains this and other information about the fund. Read prospectuses carefully before investing.
