The strong stock market once again gave my investments a nice boost over the past month and I have continued rotating my cash holdings out of I Bonds and T-Bills and into my HSBC online savings account. I will probably buy another 28 day T-Bill next week since T-Bill rates have started to become competitive again (5.324% APY at last auction).

I added an $8,000 contribution for the 2006 tax year to my SEP IRA since my last update, which accounted for half of my gain this month.
