Notes: The portfolio underperformed the S&P 500 for the month, as investors fled riskier assets for utilities, consumer staples, and the like.  The portfolio sold its longstanding share in biotech, replacing it with XLP – a leading consumer staples ETF.  It also rebalanced after selling its largest holding, as reflected in the lower listing of holdings.
