hi alanrs, I don't know about everyone here, but my guess is that most are far more diversified than the posts might lead one to believe i hope that is indeed the case. i will mention again that my remarks were in the context of a hypothetical investor with an overweighting in large-cap tech stocks. if that is atypical for the posters and lurkers here, then great. but i do think there are some people with (what i would consider to be) enormous concentrations in tech. an interesting way to check this is to look at the responses to the G&K Portfolio survey from last November. check out the 64 replies to this post! #reply-14881346 here is the URL for the replies: siliconinvestor.com below is just a sampling (which includes yours truly at the bottom!). i was in a transitionary phase where i was still messing around with covered calls and still primarily owned tech, although i did have a high cash allocation (78%, now 100%). i have omitted the names and other comments for persons other than myself below. i find the above URL fascinating! >> ***** Allocations ----------- qcom 27.1% qqq 15.0% sebl 13.6% ntap 13.1% csco 10.8% cree 10.1% gmst 6.6% sunw 3.4% cash 0.3% ******** Portfolio Parade : HWP : 24.28% CSCO : 13.71 INTC : 11.44 QCOM : 11.00 TXN : 8.59 A : 8.09 MSFT : 4.55 C : 4.09 NTAP : 4.09 GMST : 3.00 ELON : 2.00 Cash : 5.16 ******** Portfolio: CREE 13.7% GMST 11.7% NTAP 12.2% QCOM 12.3% RMBS 2.2% SDLI 7.3% SEBL 20.1% SNDK 2.4% Cash 18.0 ***** CSCO 5% GLW 14% GMST 2% JDSU/SDLI 24% NTAP 3% NT 3% QCOM 10% SEBL 15% Cash* 24% Real cash is 10%, other "Apollo Cash Equivalents" 14% **** 1) My current portfolio: GMST 8.1% CSCO 7.4% RMBS 6.7% WIND 6.2% QCOM 5.9% JDSU 5.8% SDLI 5.3% AHAA 5.2% AMAT 4.7% NTAP 4.2% CASH 40.6% CASH position is actually mutual funds. **** SEBL 21.73 QCOM 17.49 EMC 9.99 BRCD 9.16 INTC 9.09 JDSU 7.72 NTAP 7.67 CSCO 7.11 SUNW 6.27 GMST 3.77 **** QCOM = 17.0% CSCO = 15,9% JDSU/SDLI = 14.8% SEBL = 9.6% EMC = 8.3% PMCS = 6.3% ITWO = 5.7% NTAP = 5.1% INTC = 4.4% GMST = 4.2% ORCL = 3.6% JNPR = 3.3% CASH = 1.9% **** Portfolio Survey CREE:.....9.91% GMST:.....9.76% ICGE:.....0.74% ITWO:.....6.27% JDSU:....12.00% NTAP:....26.57% QCOM:....15.46% SEBL:....19.27% ******** My survey response: MSFT 20% INTC 15% CREE 14% QCOM 12% GMST 11% CSCO 11% EMC 9% NTAP 4% Miss. the rest ** QCOM 33% SEBL 17 CHKP 13 GMST 10 RMBS 7 NTAP 6 VRTS 6 ITWO 3 ORCL 3 CASH 2 ****** SEBL 29.46 % QCOM 24.68 % AMCC 11.20 % BRCD 9.22 % JNPR 6.45 % NTAP 6.12 % CIEN 4.98 % EMC 4.03 % EXTR 3.86 % **** To:Apollo who wrote (35281) From: Mucho Maas Sunday, Nov 26, 2000 10:52 PM Respond to of 45624 Portfolio survey...
