Model Portfolio

In establishing a model portfolio one has to have some framework around which to build a portfolio. One such framework would be to make sure you invest in all market segements within the broader definition of Y2K. ON this basis the following categories are one possibility:7.5 % tool providers for Cobol(MIFGY,VIAS,SEEC);Tool providers for specialty languages7.5%(SPNSF,ACLY,);2.5% body shops(CBR);7.5% testing phase specialists(CPWR,);7.5% automated solution providers(ALYD),(PTUS);5%domestic complete y2k solution providers(CHRZ);25% international complete solution providers(IMRS,MAST,CBSL);7.5% systems integrators(UIS,KEA);5% software providers benefiting from replacement sales with compliant software(PSFT);5% computer memory suppliers(EMC); and 15% embedded chip solution providers(TPRO).This portfolio overweights TPRO because as of now it has the strongest competitive position in a major market niche.I have over weighted the international solution providers because of their better cost position . There are other stocks that could be added within the categories I list. Many I know little about. There are probably other categories. I would be particularly interested in other peoples opinions about category weighting.My own portfolio doesn't reflect the above weights at all as I am willing to accept more risk by concentrating my investments. I have invested at one time or another in all the above stocks.I hope the logic is useful. Another framework could be % upside potential ve downside.
