Baby Bear Portfolio Record

Notes to this trade record:

The Baby Bear is not a Muscular Portfolio but an easy starter portfolio for people who have less than $10,000 to invest.
The funds BND and VTI were specified in the book "Muscular Portfolios." However, BND was not available before April, 2007, so AGG was used as a substitute.
Prices include dividends.
No commissions or transaction costs were included.
This model is rebalanced annually, on the last day of the year.
Past performance may not predict future results.
