Hi Dale - good idea for a thread. I would like to talk more about diversification across stock market sectors. I track my portfolio weekly with a close eye to distribution between techs and non-techs overall and particular sectors. Lurkers can check it out here: tigerinvestor.com In the past six months I have gradually cut down Internet stocks from over 30% to less than 10% but kept a heavy weighting in what I call Broadcasting and Communications, anything that gets you bandwidth directly or indirectly. I also moved up Energy and Financials that were almost on-existent in the portfolio six months ago. I suggest everyone categorize their portfolio by sectors and ask if they are comfortable with the weightings they see. Most of us buy stocks we like and see how it all fits together later. I have had very good success lately shorting weak "dot bombs" while holding quality tech stocks and adding on dips. The NASDAQ new lows list (I get it from WSJ) is a fertile source for short ideas, particularly on days the market is strong. Stocks hitting new lows tend to go on hitting new lows. I look forward to seeing how this thread evolves.
