You want prudence? Well, me too. However, here's a look at reality, which to me is 4 messy rooms:
4 portfolios consisting of: 1 taxable, 1 IRA, 1 Rollover IRA (when the lousy PBS outlet I worked for in NY {name on request} laid me off after 16 years, then re-hired me the next day as a temp, I took the opportunity to roll my 403B (all my own funds) into a self-directed brokerage roll-over IRA) and 1 Roth IRA(my former union pension).
Taxable:
CREE 16%? HTEK island of lost dreams now dull shiny pebble IW.T shiny pebble LWIN .5% the remains of several wonderful trades MFNX 3.2% MOYC former shiny pebble, now grit QCOM 73.4% LEAPS: QCOM, GBLX
Roth:
QCOM the magnificent: 100%
IRA:
GMST Yes! JDSU yes yes! MOYC dull as dishwater HTEK hope is not yet totally extinguished LWIN son of Q QCOM gotta be at least 75% VSAT shiny pebble
Roll-over: (the big enchilada):
CTXS GBLX CNXT HTEK JDSU GMST MFNX SNDK EGOV LWIN QCOM Fidelity Aggressive Growth Fidelity Magellan
oh yeah, I forgot: IRA rollover, part II (union):
Vanguard Health Vanguard Capital Opportunity
also 4 other funds not in IRA (PRIMECAP, Oakmark Special (not really that special this year), Tweedy Brown Global Something.
That's it more or less; I buy and sell a lot, pruning really, (or maybe just ADD) and race one portfolio against another. Hey, what the heck?
ps- I may be retired. It's just beginning to dawn. Or should I become a broker??
pps- Since I was using last month's statement the whole exercise is totally out of date.
ppps- up +1,000% this year, somehow.
Thank you. |
