Date updated:09-01-2007
This is a merger of 2 portfolios, mine and my wife's (got married 11 months ago). My portfolio (A) has higher growth names, with a concentration on growth in earnings. There's a big focus on oil / oil services, Rest Of World, and Apple. I use an online discount broker.
Portfolio B (my wife's) is a mostly large cap, good yield portfolio, fairly well diversified but with a large position in PG. She has a high commission broker. Have some issues re taxes and commissions- so they are not merging very quickly. Over time I am moving long-term "core positions" to Portfolio B and doing most shorter-term investing / trading in Portfolio A. And clearing out less than favorite names out of B.

-
PG
Procter Gamble - $61.04
- +0.94%
- $60.17
19.2% of the portfolio - Portfolio B Up 320% in 12 years, not including an excellent always-increasing dividend. Planning to hold long-term.

-
AAPL
Apple Inc. - $194.34
- +0.16%
- $193.00
16.0% of portfolio - Portfolio A Greatest brand in the U.S. right now. Great growth prospects for at least the next couple years still.

-
AUY
Yamana Gold Inc - $12.05
- +2.38%
- $11.78
5.3% of portfolio - Portfolio A Yamana will be a winner beacuse they have great growth, low costs. If the price of gold goes up, that's just a plus. Since the stock price has been hammered down because of the proposed Meridian takeover, it should go up either way - if the deal goes through, it meets AUY's long-term needs. if it doesn't go through, stockholders likely will stop penalizing the stock for trying to make the deal.

-
KR
Kroger Co - $23.27
- -0.21%
- $23.28
4.8% of portfolio - Portfolio B A nice winner over the last year or so.

-
LABL
Multi-color Corpo - $12.35
- -0.96%
- $12.31
3.3% of portfolio - Portfolios B Great small-cap in a low-profile industry, great management, up around 1300% since 1/1/2000. Long-term holding (since 2001), may add more around $34-36.

-
CHK
Chesapeake Energy - $24.22
- -2.42%
- $24.42
3.2% of portfolio - Portfolios A & B Recently added core position in Portfolio B, plus have even more in Portfolio A, additionally have Jan. 2008 & Jan. 2009 calls. Super long-term growth propsects, as they turn their land grab of the last several years into huge production gains in the foreseeable future.

-
FTI
Fmc Technologies - $56.63
- +0.73%
- $55.42
2.5% of portfolio - Portfolio A Position still on the increase. Great long term growth coming in subsea area of oil services. I like CAM too, but believe FTI is a better acquisition target.

-
CAT
Caterpillar Inc - $57.60
- -0.67%
- $57.38
2.9% of portfolio - Portfolios A & B Well positioned for years of global growth. Core position in Portfolio B.
