In this segment, Jim
takes 2-4 callers
and asks them to
submit five stocks
that make up their
largest positions in
their portfolio.
He then comments on
whether or not they
are properly
diversified...
See callers'
portfolios below...
Jim:
When I tell
you to own a
stock...
like the
caller with
ZION, which
they had way
too much of,
it doesn't
mean you
should throw
all your
eggs in one
basket...
even if
you're
almost
positive it
will go up.
No. That is
a mistake.
Diversification
is really
our only
protection
from a
vicious
market... if
we want to
be in
stocks...
which is
why, every
Wednesday we
play "Am I
Diversified?"...
Let's start
the game
with Matt in
Texas...
Matt, go
ahead...

Caller:
I want to know if I
am diversified...
Stocks are:
Dominion Resources Inc. (D),
Penn West Energy Trust (PWE), Bank of America
(BAC*), Citigroup (C)
and Foot Locker Inc.
(FL)?...
Jim:
Let's see what we
have here... Okay,
Dominion is my
favorite... I've got
to tell you... there
was some really
interesting news
today about nuclear
being backed by the
federal government
and neither
General Electric (GE)...
or
Shaw Group Inc. (SGR)
went up... and it
made me think of
that because
Dominion is a clean
energy player.
Alright, so you have
Penn West Energy...
this is a Canadian
trust. I prefer
American oil trusts,
because of changes
in the tax code. It
does yield 12%, so
Matt's got an
interesting
high-yielder there,
along with Dominion
which yields almost
6%... I don't want
to cuff that...
Dominion yields
5.4%... Let's do
Foot Locker, it's a
retailer. I don't
think you can...
it's got a very big
dividend. I'm not
sure it can sustain
that dividend. But
here's the
problem... Bank of
America and Citi...
he (the caller) even
mentioned them in
the same breath as
speculative
situations... It's
time to sell Citi. I
think there's very
limited upside...
Bank of America, I
think there's
miraculous upside...
that's why I own it
for
ActionAlertsPlus.com, my
charitable trust...
I think that what
Matt could use... I
think that, given
the fact that we're
having a change in
the healthcare... in
a positive way, in
clarity... I think
he should own a
healthcare company.

Verdict:
NO,
Caller's portfolio
is NOT diversified. |
