Dear Friends,
Congratulations with reading the very first newsletter coming from iFund, especially when it in wrapped in such a fancy visual appearance. This great thing will show up 52 times more often than the Santa Claus does, so wait for it / read / watch / improve and enjoy. As always, comments and suggestions are more than welcome, so with high expectations and little sense of criticism, lets proceed. Nowadays the world keeps enjoying the R word transformation. Now it is again the word RRRRecession. The headlines are crowded with fear that worlds most powerful economy might go into another period of economic downturn. Its becoming increasingly rare nowadays that the is somebody who doesnt have an Apple. By that we mean the innovative and stylish products of a Californian electronics manufacturer. And guess what important event happened there: its long standing CEO has suspended his post, and now the firm sets off for a new strategy. Yours financially, iFund
There is no hurry and therefore no intention to jump right from the scratch into financial world from any side - either theoretical or practical. Instead there will be a smooth beginning by having a glance at what moods are prevailing in the world economy as a whole, in particular, the U.S. economy, which will be subject of our this weeks discussion. Apple in the Lurch p.3

However, his dismissal may shed light on the question: what will happen next? Board updates Upcoming Events p.4 p.4
