I think it's over-diversified.

SHLD's only been around for 3-1/2 years and HXM for 2-1/2 years, so there's not as much
history on them as I'd like to see for a thorough analysis.

Considering the rest of the portfolio over, say, the last five years, NOC, JPM, MDY SLB,
SAP and QQQQ wouldn't have provided any useful (i.e., risk-lowering) diversification. The
correlations of returns are very low, and that's a good thing. But none of those six
securities would have added anything useful to the portfolio; i.e., given a portfolio with
any of these securities, there would be a better portfolio (more return for the same risk,
or less risk for the same return) that contained none of them.

I like this portfolio, good combo of growth,diversity,value, and cap.
