Answer 2

Seems a little tech heavy...If you have a long time frame some big financials are way down.  I got C and BAC recently.  Some Big Dow stocks are at multiyear lows...good buying opportunity (GE, MMM etc).

If you want more return now (at higher price) drilling (RIG) and pipelines (TRP, ENB, KMP) will be strong for the next few years.

Answer 3

Without having more information about your personal information, such as current income and other data such as risk tolerance, martial status, and demographics it would be very inappropriate for me or any other responsible person to provide specific investment information or evaluation in this type of media.

To accept any evaluation provided blindly to you would be very foolish.

Answer 4

Not too bad, but a better question would be what is your cost basis on these stocks.

For example if you picked up ATVID early on and have a nice profit then it looks great!  It's tough to sell a piece when you are up, but I'd rather bank a nice profit and miss an opportunity, then lose money.  Maybe set some stop losses to protect any profits you've made.

In terms of sector distribution, financials are still verboten in my mind.  Telcom has been hitting some rough patches as well.  Anything that is in the pinksheets trading for less than a penny is a complete c**p shoot and more often then not a losing one. Always be diversified to minimize risk.

I like the small cap infrastructure play with FLOW.

Only advice I would have is maybe look for an oil/gas exploration or driller, or some basic or precious materials stocks/efts to balance out a bit and as a hedge in this market.  The IBD is a good place to look to evaluate what sectors are heating up and which are cooling down.

Answer 5

I understand you bought all these shares over years and it is quite a good investment. Keep it up dear. With the markets going down re assess your portfolio and think about some alternative like commodity futures.
