DESCRIPTION:

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.

  • AUY
    Yamana Gold Inc
  • $3.97
  • -15.89%
  • $4.50

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.

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.

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.
