Hi Mike - I share with all !

Fisher method stocks: SGI - Accumulating. Still not too late. Turned around, still reviled by funds. Average cost $20 COHU - Holding. Average cost $24 AMAT - Holding but running scared. Average cost $35
An experiment but not quite a fisher stock: KMAG - Accumulating, Excellent management, hyper cyclical industry.
Long term buy and hold growth stocks. held most >3 years already, plan to hold 5-10 years. I don't know average costs of the top of my head. TXI - Accumulating. Flat last year. Next year should be much better. EN - Accumulating. Bought a bunch after the reverse gold panic from Bre-X and the drop in gold price. Not your typical gold company. Undiscovered. Ignore the high PE. OLS - Accumulating. Taking lower margins temporarily to gain market share. Bought a bunch at $16. ROG - Accumulating. Company got on track a few years ago and never looked back. Undiscovered. RGC - Accumulating. Undiscovered. NUE - Accumulating. Unions and excellent management have virtually guaranteed they will be #1 in the next 2 years. Analysts haven't figured out US borders won't contain them. HCCC - Accumulating. Misclassified with the HMO's.
"Accumulating" means I'd buy if my portfolio is not out of balance buying more and the price is right.
The only sales this year were: APCC - Fisher stock that got hit it's PSR top. Bought last July for $9, sold in January for $27 (thanks again Paul!). CEMX - My experiment with microcaps that are controlled by MMs. Small loss. TNH - Sold after holding for several years for more than a double. Worried about remaining shares being bought by parent company at a prenegotiated price.
The first group is where the excitement is. I will hold these until PSR gets too high AND the stock exhibits volitility. The second group is rather boring and often ignored stuff that just keeps going up long-term.
Across the entire portfolio, I believe in the Peter Lynchism "Don't buy what you don't understand" which explains the weird mix. I work in high-tech but anybody can understand steel, paper and cement!
