The Directionless portfolio

The Question: I don’t see much growth - is that normal? I’m getting tired of seeing small losses or zero growth in my statements.
Assessment: This portfolio has too much risk, too many funds and too much exposure to resources. More diversification is need both within the Canadian market and globally.
