Description:

Made an initial purchase of COP at $78.50 on 06/20/07, SBS at $39.90 on 06/05/07, HD at $38.80 on 05/21/07, TX at $26.98 on 04/26/07 and AMAT at $19.40 on 04/19/07. COP fills my need for an energy play. It's the cheapest major integrated and has exposure to downstream and upstream production. COP, through an acquisition it made, is also a major player in nat gas now as well. I think fundamentals for nat gas bode well for 2008. COP also has a large state in Lukoil, which is a Russian oil company. SBS gets me into Brazil as well as water exposure. It's much cheaper and larger in scope than any U.S water utility and it's cheaper than other foreign names like VE and SZE. HD is just really cheap in my opiion. AMAT goes along with my theme of buying companies that have a substantial portion of revenues coming from overseas. TX gives me exposure to steel and Mexico and Latin America. I prefer companies that have a reasonably conservative capital structure (ie: low debt) and that generate a lot of FCF.

Any suggestions or ideas for improvement are always welcome.
