[Beginning of
Cramer's
verbatim
comments for
this segment...]
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 that I
think you
should own a
stock, that
doesn't mean
that I think
you should
throw all of
your eggs in
one
basket, even
if you're
positive
that it's
going to go
up. Uh uh,
my friend. I
won't have
any of that.
Diversification
is the only
free lunch.
And that's
why, every
Wednesday,
we play Am I
Diversified...
You tell me
your top
five
holdings,
and I tell
you if your
portfolio is
diversified,
or maybe you
need to mix
it up.
Sometimes I
give you a
little
qualitative,
but I prefer
to really
focus on
sector
analysis...

Caller:
I want to know if I
am diversified...
Stocks are:
Bank of America (BAC*), Marathon Oil Corp. (MRO), Parexel (PRXL), Skyworks Solutions Inc. (SWKS),
and
Spirit AeroSystems
Holdings Inc (SPR)?...
Jim: What caught me there is that this happens to be a very eclectic portfolio, and it wasn't like I could give a snap judgment on this... Okay... let's take a look at what we've got here...
Bank of America, actually a premier bank... Ken Lewis (CEO)... we'll be sorry to see him go at the end of the year. Many people will miss Ken Lewis... many... (showing a sarcastic look)... Marathon... a higher-yielding oil with a 3% yield. The refiners are coming back. Spirit AeroSystems, a 52-week high... a play of course off Boeing's resonance... Parexel is a company that tests drugs... a decent business... not a great business... And Skyworks... David Aldrich (CEO), who stood over there three different times and told us business is better than expected, which is why we caught a double.
So, we've got a tech company, we've got a healthcare company, we've got an aerospace company, an oil refiner and also owns oil... and Bank of America, a financial... I say we've got perfect diversification...
| Verdict:
YES, Caller's portfolio IS diversified. |

Caller:

Stocks are:
Pfizer (PFE),
United Parcel Service, Inc.
(UPS),
Google, Inc. (GOOG),
Pepsi (PEP*),
and
Altera Corp. (ALTR)?...
Jim: Okay, let's see... what do we got... Pfizer, my least-favorite pharmaceutical, but that's okay... It's a pharmaceutical. Remember, this is more about sector analysis than it is about quality. Altera... not my favorite in the group... I prefer Xilinx, but it's a good semiconductor company. Pepsi... Indra Nooyi (CEO), on another network today?... I kid you not... The finest soft drink company, and I own it for AAP. Indra, this is the house that you should come to. UPS... one of my absolute favorite transports, kind of wavering on its 52-week... you know, we don't want to see a breakdown there... and Google... I'm still reiterating my $600 price target. I think the quarter's going to be incredible.
A tech company, a drug company, a tech company?... Errr... Soda, and a transport. Alright, we want to throw out Altera and pick up, let's say, uh, how about
Raytheon Co. (RTN)?... I've been liking that one lately, doing a lot of work on it, and then we would be in great shape.
| Verdict:
NO, Caller's portfolio IS NOT diversified. |
