Are we diversified: Sure.. Up to 4 of these fall into the category of energy which may be a bit strong but they are really very different stocks. Also a category of semiconductors is very broad in range too for some are for solar products purposes other for electrical equipment etc. Looks diversified enough for me... Many are affraid that a drop in the Oil prices will hurt bottom lines of energy and oil production stocks so that will be kept in mind. Whats in fashion one quarter may not be the next, etc. Primarily earnings and revenue weighted ratings here.
Analysts ratings were considered but many of the 5 star S&P rated stocks did not have the growth aspects that this board is weighted towards, in reality though a 5 star stock from either morningstar and/or S&P would have more weight especially in a down market for these tend to be tops in their respective sectors and industries.
NOTE:
All stocks in this list are at least a buy to a strong buy in the BNY Jaywalk ratings as well as have a few good ratings for reuters, credit suisse, S&P, and Thomson analyst ratings. Peer comparisons tend to be 80% or better compared to other stocks in the same industry and preference given to growth first and peer rating second with up to 98 to 100% achieved with some picks in this list.
