Re: Personal Portfolio Survey

Stan, thanks for your work on this. I find it very interesting and valuable. A couple of things struck me:

1. Just looking at the top 10 most widely held positions, there is a remarkable consistency between this list and the official G&K Y2K index Uncle Frank put together (which is up 17% YTD). There are only two differences - MSFT and SUNW, two silverbacks, aren't in the most widely held, while two pre-tornado G&K candidates - CREE and ELON, are. Otherwise, the list is the same.

This shows an impressive consistency based upon the G&K criteria and the relatively short list of established Gs & Ks that have been widely discussed here. The presence of CREE and ELON logically results from the discussions that take place here about having some exposure in one's portfolio to G&K candidates that are on the left hand side of the growth curve.

2. I, too, was surprised by the number of people with relatively large cash positions.
