I found a bunch of personal investing blogs and few of them charge a lot for advertising. I don't plan to try for one of those. But I do want to talk about my portfolio the first time my real trading portfolio became profitable. My portfolio is primarily RSP and MSFT . Everybody knows microsoft, but rsp is a rather unknown equal weighted snp index tracking fund. It has done well and much better than spy, which is a market cap weighted index tracking fund. my reason to take msft is because of perceived potential in their search endeavours and much more importantly in their scm becasue in the next year I see them churning out big hits in the xbox 360 software and games division, and the windows vista part. They can very easily offset google's early mover advantage with the new windows. oter hunches have made me buy goog option for october.. and the IIF stock. it is rather late since the bse sensex is at absurd peaks, and tomorrow muust be a down day for it. also there have been many reports of bubble like spending in fictitious stocks. today i also shorted aapl and went long on PLAY.
