Stock Holdings Update and Current Purchases

I've been evaluating my portfolio and my current holdings and amounts.  As stated previously, I sold off the majority of my stocks to help fund the purchase of a new home.

I have a certain dollar amount which I call a full position.  Sometimes I overweight on a stock if I feel particularly confidant that it has potential.  Other times I underweight a position if is more speculative and risky.  A lot of investing involves investing money amounts that you are comfortable with.  If you put amounts that are keeping you awake at night.  You then need to rethink your philosophy and how much you put in.

For the record, my current portfolio contains the following holdings:

• Arctic Cat (ACAT) - currently acquiring shares for a full position.
• Ameresco (AMRC) - currently acquiring shares for a full position.
• Activision Blizzard (ATVI) - holding full position
• Dolby (DLB) - holding full position
• Momenta Pharmaceuticals (MNTA) - holding a third of a position.  Currently evaluating whether to continue to acquire shares.
• National Oilwell (NOV) - overweight 17% above a full position due to dividend reinvestment.
• Seaspan (SSW) - overweight 5% due to dividend reinvestment.

In my stock search, LinkedIn has move to the top of my list.  Next week's stock order will include my last purchase of ACAT to complete a full position.  It also included my first purchase of LNKD.  

LNKD will be an addition to my Thundercougarfalcon Fund.  That fund was started two years ago to track my own selections outside the newsletters.  Unfortunately, I neglected my own stock research so currently the fund holds one stock.  I wanted to add three to four stocks a year to it.  If I had followed through, I'd probably have a 8-10 stock personal fund.

Next post, I hope to have my reasons and some research on why I'm buying LinkedIn.
