Now online: February issue of the SMI newsletter!

The print edition of the February 2011 Sound Mind Investing newsletter is rolling off the press — and the Web edition is already available online for our Web Members.

Even if you're not yet an SMI subscriber, you can still access some of the content, including our February feature story!

Conventional investing wisdom says bonds are an important part of a well-diversified portfolio, yet few investors really understand what they are and how they operate. That can be dangerous in a period of rising interest rates such as we potentially face today. So read our feature article, The Bond Basics You Need to Know in 2011.

Also free this month is our latest "report card" on SMI's core investing strategies. The overall market gained 17.2% in 2010, but the final tallies show that both of SMI's core strategies did even better, as detailed in SMI Strategies Capitalize on a Strong Market in 2010.

We also have an update on the rookie-year performance of our Optional Inflation Hedges strategy (+25.2% overall).

And, in an annual tradition, SMI founder and publisher Austin Pryor tells readers about his personal investing strategy for the 12 months ahead.

Rounding out our February issue (for subscribers only):

"Should You Move Your Savings to an 'Enhanced Cash' ETF?";
"Till Debt Do Us Part: Dealing with Debt in Your Marriage" by Russ Crosson, president of Ronald Blue and Co.; and
"Retirement Issues: How Much Should You Withdraw Each Year From Your Nest Egg?"

In addition to encouraging articles plus step-by-step guidance on how to implement our performance-producing and time-tested investing strategies, SMI web members also have access to online tools such as our 401(k) Fund Tracker.

Not yet an SMI print subscriber or web member? Now is a great time to sign up! If you become a web member, you'll gain instant access to the February 2011 issue, plus back issues for the past three years!
