Hi anialzer - Peeled off some of my material and mining shares (BHP & AAUK) and moved the money into domestic REITs (BDN & HRP). These REITs are selling below BV and have good FFO that more than cover their debt obligation.

Hate to sell any of the mining, natural resource or oil shares as they seem to be the only things that are working now. However it is import to take some profits from time to time and rebalance the portfolio. My mining stocks represent almost 20% of the portfolio and this move represents only a 1% change in this sector position.

I noticed you also like the shipping sector as do I. 12% of my portfolio is made up of dry bulk and rail shipping companies. I am thinking of peeling off a few shares there too. They have all benefited from the movement of commodities around the world. I wonder if this growth can be sustained in a global inflationary environment?

Have you done any rebalancing and do you still prefer your foreign sector weighting? Based on your 10/14/07 posting you were in many of the right sectors. Your heavy foreign weighting has probably paid off in spades.
