What's your Portfolio Percentage breakdown - by Sector and by Domestic vs Foreign?

Schwab has a new Portfolio analysis tool. With a bit of adjustments I was able to break out my Sectors by Global companies as I have a lot of Foreign ADR's.

My long term value proposition is to own a greater than average amount of material and resource companies that are Non-US owned (a hedge against a falling US$), domestic & foreign companies w/ undervalued tangible assets that generate current free flow cash & pay dividends and nibble at selective undervalued domestic companies that are special situation turn around candidates. I seek long term Capital gains, so my average holding period is 3-5 years but I will hold longer if my companies continue to pay higher dividends and grow their business.

Comments:
This is the first detailed Sector analysis I have done. My portfolio is a work in progress and changes are slow and made over time. The biggest change made in the last 24 months was to increase my Foreign equity exposure from 28% to 46%. Many of my Large Cap stocks are global in nature and also have a large international business.

Observations:
Let your winners run after you have peeled off your seed money. Try to control losses by limiting the total amount invested but never totally give up because 60% of the time they do come back. I have obtained consistent returns by focusing on the equity "value proposition" using specific growth and value themes when I select new stocks.

====================================================

Anybody else care to share their Sector and Domestic/Foreign Percentage Portfolio Holdings?
