1. Ishares Inflation Protected Treasuries ETF (TIP - $103.42) - Still my biggest disclosed position but I sold a quarter of it today.
2. Chevron Corp (CVX - $89.04) Oil up and stock down. I don't understand so I hold. According to their press releases this past month they are really making an effort at renewable energy.
3. Berkshire Hathaway (BRK/A - $131,250) - Wish I owned more. This just keeps going up huge.
4. Conoco Philips (COP - $83.21) See my comments on CVX, except they don't have the same commitment to alternative energy.
5. B P Prudhoe Bay Oil RoyaltyTrust (BPT - $76.89) This is an embarrassment of riches. I wouldn't buy this now but I have so much in capital gains this year that I can't sell till 2008. My least socially conscious investment.
6. Usiminas S.A. Brazil ADR (USNZY - $77.80) This Brazilian steel company is my favorite in the world and has everything going for it. I keep holding and collecting fat dividends.
7. Citigroup (C- $38.51) I bought more this month on the way down but above today's price; ouch. I remain committed to this franchise through the pain. Besides, with trillions in assets, the Fed is my best auditor of this company.
8. Freeport Mcmoran Copper & Gold (FCX - $112.05) Gold is not up; it's the dollar that is down.
9. Vanguard Pacific ETF (VPL - $73.68) Asian exposure.
10. Anglo America PLC UK ADR (AAUK - $32.78) Cheapest major global mining company.
11. Chubb Corp (CB - $52.00) No hurricanes and the cheapest and highest quality of the property and casualty insurers. I'll probably buy more if it falls.
12. Andarko Petroleum. (APC - $57.24) - this Texas-based oil exploration company went up so much it ended up in my top 15. They are so cheap. I should sell BPT and buy more APC.
13. 3M (MMM - $83.90) Solid and creative company. They had a tough earnings report. I'm sticking with 3M.
14. General Electric (GE - $40.34) - Multinational benefits from falling dollar. They are trying (but not yet there) to remake themselves into an eco-friendly company of the future. I'm holding but wouldn't buy more above $37.00.
15. Microsoft (MSFT - $37.06) Huge run-up in the last few days. This giant is finally getting recognition for their global exposure (falling dollar helps) and increasing revenues from tech spending.
Off the List since last month:
Bank Of America (BAC - $45.71) I cut part of the position, as I had to be prudent with my bank exposure. If I have to hold a falling money center giant, I prefer Citigroup.
Pfizer Inc (PFE - $23.95) - stock is up a bit since last month but relative performance is weak. I continue to hold this cheap super giant pharma until new information changes my opinion.
