list to review at that moment, in no order: jdsu, cien, amat,nvls,klac,sebl,qcom,chkp,vrsn, pmcs, vtss, brcm,txcc,flex,akam,ntap, emc, brcd,jnpr,txn, adi, mxim,csco,sunw,orcl,dell, msft, wind, wfii,beas,itwo,arba,inkt,emlx,amcc,nok,fdry,lwin,opwv,digl,avnx,nufo, lu, cpq. I don't know how many will make sense, and picking the safest ones would be the way to go. I am also going to stay about 25-50% in "value" stocks or funds. I hate it, but it could save my life. The fund I like the best is the oakmark select fund. Mid cap value.
