>> Run the same for 60 months. Amazing again.

Maybe it's the rising tide effect, but in a Tornado environment.

My regret is that I've had neither emc nor ntap for the past 60 months :-(.

As I approach 100% on my personal FLI (which I've already raised twice this year), I am making contingency plans for diversification. I plan to limit myself to 6 stocks, which I believe provides 90% of the insurance of a 20 stock portfolio. If I were to move today, my holdings would be, in order of allocation (* = current holding):

qcom*
csco
gmst*
qqq*
ntap*
ctxs

with massive overweighting to qcom (>50%). Obviously, I'm not going to do anything before the split.

Any comments or ideas would be appreciated.

uf

Eric, I am pleased to say that I got out of EMC when the DGN acquisition came about. For me, that was an indication that NTAP is perceived as a threat (or the SAN market is perceived as worthwhile) to EMC.

NTAP is much smaller than EMC, but its growth rate is much faster than EMC's. Both are good investments, but I see NTAP crossing EMC's stock appreciation curve and never looking back.

That is my own just-for-fun conjecture.
