Stock Portfolios

By February of 2000, we had achieved our goal of reaching a 0 risk portfolio (see below). Since that time we have suggested that the average investor own zero (0) stocks and zero (0) mutual funds. Since February of 2003, we've suggested zero (0) holdings in bond funds. Centralized real estate holdings have also been re-categorized from "best bet" to "have a serious plan."

• A Model Portfolio

• Widows, Widowers, Orphans and Non-orphans Fund
  A special collection of stocks for risky times.

• 0 Risk Portfolio
  What we attempted to do was create a 0 (zero) risk portfolio based on a Risk vs. Return theory. First, we invested 100% of our investment funds in high risk stocks. But, because we did not invest in just one stock, the overall portfolio's risk was reduced. Whenever we could, we took our profits off the table. We would also keep some of the shares from each company (never selling our entire position.) Eventually, we were left with 100% of the original funds back in our hands. Therefore, we have achieved our goal of 0 risk.

  We are also left with a sweet, diversified portfolio that includes several shares of many different companies. This has allowed us to monitor the market and participate as shareholders/owners.

• Fuel Cells
  While we are waiting for the markets to hit their lows, we've been keeping an eye to tomorrow. Energy continues to intrigue us. Independent energy plants, such as energy cells, hold a special interest. Though we do not recommend large acquisitions, we are buying "a few shares at a time".

• Children's Portfolio
  Some fun ideas for kids or grandchildren.

• Long Term Holdings
  All other long term equity positions were liquidated prior to February 2000.
