Cwillyg, I am definitely interested. I hold some MSFT. IMHO, it's cheap but not very cheap. It has good earnings/EV yield, but its earnings growth has been anemic (10% 3-year annualized, 7% 10-year annualized - obviously a lot of large companies would kill for this kind of growth, but it's not that big.) and with this growth continuing in the future, investors won't get a good return. Hold/sell to me. I hold some GEOI, but I don't like it a lot. A bit too gassy for me and for some reason I don't have an eye on it. :) Hold for now. I have GRVY position. Hold now that it's all in tax deferred account and PFIC is not an issue anymore. I hope they come through with some positive news though. I gave up on ACTS and ATPG. CSCO is IMHO not cheap enough for me. Though techs could climb to rich valuations again.

Portfolio Update: Well, it's mid-month and I've made enough changes to my initial portfolio to force me to update. Overall, when a market makes a run like this, I get a bit edgy and rotate from volitaile stocks to less volataile ones. So: Positions Decreased: TGB - This is a small copper miner on the verge of a decision by Canada to move forward or stop a new gold mine named Prosperity. I've reduced my position size to ~2%. SGY - E&P with decent GOM operations. Sold my entire position on the recent run. IOC - Stock has been discussed a lot here. I took some profits and reduced my position to ~2%. Positions Started: INTC - Bought a 5% position as I see value in at least some of these large cap tech stocks. Largest Positions BGEIX (10%) - American Century Large Cap Gold Miner Fund TWEAX (9%) - Equity Income Fund Cash (15%) - I'm building cash here in case we correct. Somewhere between 4-7% each: INTC MSFT CSCO QQQQ GEOI ATPG ACTS GRVY Thanks, cwillyg
