Fidelity Strategic Funds

I have recently invested in a couple of Fidelity's Strategic Funds; but, because of the similarity of their names I'm constantly confusing the strategies and objectives.

FSDIX - Fidelity Strategic Dividend and Income Fund: (Equity Income) 50% common stocks, 15% REITs, 15% convertible securities, and 20% preferred stocks.

FSICX - Fidelity Strategic Income Fund: (Multisector Bond) 40% high yield, 30% U.S. Government and investment-grade, 15% emerging markets, and 15% foreign developed markets.

FSRRX - Fidelity Strategic Real Return Fund: (Allocation) 30% inflation-protected debt securities; 25% floating-rate loans, 25% commodity-linked notes and related investments, and 20% REITs and other real estate related investments.

Technology ETFs

I have habitually used the Q's (QQQQ - Nasdaq 100 Trust) as a way to trade the technology sector. If technology shares pick up with expected business expenditures this summer these exchange traded funds might be a better way to go.

XLK - Select Sector Technology SPDR
IYW - iShares Dow Jones U.S. Technology
IGM - iShares Goldman Sachs Technology
