[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,
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 call,
you tell me
your top
five
holdings,
and I tell
you if your
portfolio is
diversified
enough,
or if you
need to mix
it up a
little...
Why don't we
start with
Joe in
Louisiana...

Caller:
I want to know if I
am diversified...
Stocks are:
Barclays plc (BCS),
Ford (F),
JA Solar (JASO),
Oshkosh Truck Corp. (OSK),
and
Wal-Mart (WMT)?...
Jim, am I diversified?...
Jim: Alright, let's go right to work...
Here's what we have... Wal-Mart... we've got the world's largest retailer, okay... Ford Motor, Alan Mulally doing a super job... it's an auto company. Barclays, a British bank that's actually, I think, doing fairly well... JASolar is a spec play first, and then a solar play second... OshKosh... we can argue that both OshKosh and Ford are both vehicle plays, but I'll say that OshKosh is a diversified player that isn't that.
So we've got a diversified manufacturer, we've got an auto company, we've got a retailer, we've got a bank, and we've got a solar spec... Boom! I say well played.
| Verdict:
YES, Caller's portfolio IS diversified. |
