I didn't add any new money to my investments over the past month, although I managed a nice 2.5% gain despite the market volatility during that time as the S&P 500 index was up almost 2% since my last update. I'm also about to make another 2007 SEP IRA contribution, which should help out over the next month:

I'm still keeping an eye on stock market volatility in anticipation of a buying opportunity. I do have some cash in my SEP that I'd like to put to work, but am content with the 5% money market yield I'm getting for now.
