Major Markets YTD
      

 With the markets doing as good as they are, it is difficult to find stocks of good companies trading at attractive yields. They are a few gems out there but they require more work to find them. Currently as I wait to find a company to invest in and building my cash position. I would like to see a minor pullback before I pull the trigger on a buy transaction.
