Portfolio Underperformed This Week

This chart from Yahoo/finance shows the Indexes for the Week.  The Portfolio underperformed because of the caution I have taken (1/3 in cash) towards the Market. http://finance.yahoo.com/echarts?s=^GSPC+Interactive#chart2:symbol=^gspc;range=5d;compare=^dji+^ixic;indicator=volume;charttype=line;crosshair=on;ohlcvalues=0;logscale=on;source=undefined
