Hi jpgill: I am going to assume that you have seen some of my posts where I list my positions in order of holdings. There are normally not more than 6 positions and usually only 4 or 5. There are many weeks out of the year that I am fully invested with no cash in only those positions. Huge over weighting. High risk. I would not recommend my level of risk to anyone. I do it because I can assume the risk and it wins for me. Granted, however, the books say to spread out and diversify.

There are times that I've had as much as 75% weighting in one position. I did that with the JDSU run late last year and early this year. I tend to take small positions and accumulate. Let me catch a run like I have on EXTR and that position may accumulate up to a vast majority position of my portfolio.

Typically out of my four positions, I will have a cornerstone position that I have the bulk invested in which I will stay with for months. Say 50%. Then I'll have a second position that may eventually bump out number one. It may have a weighting of say 30%. The remaining 20% will be split between the remaining two. They will be higher turnover positions that I'm sort of testing, so to speak.

I am not afraid at all to put my eggs in few positions, especially if I have averaged in properly. Late last year and early this year, I was fully invested in only two positions for weeks. Those positions were QCOM and JDSU (RR hammer). Sometimes 50-50, sometmes 75-25, etc., but only those two.

All options. No stocks. Highly concentrated. High risk. I would not recommend my exact style to anyone.

That's it.
