Portfolio Checkpoint - 2007 Q1

The first quarter has come to a close. Here is the portfolio's allocation at the end of Q1. Jjust to be absolutely clear, since someone asked me about this recently... % changes in the table reflect % allocation changes and not changes in the value of the holding. In other words, -1% change does not mean that the stock went down 1% in value from Q4 2006 to Q1 2007.

Generally speaking, the portfolio became less concentrated for a number of reasons. I added to existing positions, and the position count increased by one (added YHOO and GLT, sold off HD). Also, some issues fell in value such as Student Loan (STU) and Constellation Brands (STZ). Anyway, I'm not too displeased with the current portfolio, and I'm looking forward to the fresh new quarter.
