In the past week, our US index fell by 17 points, with majority of the fall coming from Starnet Communications (22 points) and Free Realtime Quotes (42 points) due to profit taking. Despite this temporary setback our index of US stocks is still up by 66% since the beginning of the year and this beats returns made by many mutual fund managers this year.
