Here are my current holdings in the beginning of 2007. My strategy now is still go with a defensive lineup and also diversify more internationally. I also decreased my position in energy. I’m going to stick to my strategy and even increase my exposure to ETFs and opt for less risk than investing in individual stocks.<\/p>\n
: $68: A giant that’s beaten up a bit. Should recover. Quality stock..<\/p>\n
: $36: Quality company with good management. Diversified. Looks cheap.<\/p>\n
: My recent addition. Company makes good products, moves into more healthy oriented products. Good international player.<\/p>\n
: Panasonic makes the best plasmas and cameras. Good growth potential.<\/p>\n
: It’s beaten down now but a quality company with very good growth potential.<\/p>\n
: One of the biggest and beaten down. Good pipeline.<\/p>\n
: I believe content is the king and will eventually provide the most value. I’m losing my patience with AOL and I might unload in the near future.<\/p>\n
: I’m still optimistic about the fiber rollout. The best wireless provider.<\/p>\n
: I think Yahoo is cheap compared to Google. Good search technology. Very good growth potential. Cheap.<\/p>\n
: The biggest energy player. Safe bet.<\/p>\n
