The GDT::Portfolio on Future Day 02012

Yesterday (March 1st) was Future Day. The GDT::Portfolio is heavily weighted in the future and this makes being a long-term investor beyond frustrating. In addition, it keeps dependent on OPM (Other People's Money; specifically my employer's $$$).

I recorded the state of the GDT::Portfolio prior to the market opening on Future Day. I don't have time to do a detailed analysis, but here are some notes just for fun.

Let's start with the top 17...

iRobot #1 (robotics). Google #2, but only by $0.35 (21st century informatics). Cray #3 (supercomputing). Geeknet #4 (world geekification). Red Hat #5 (FLOSS [Free/Libre Open Source Software). Illumina #6 (genomics). Yahoo! #7 (21st century informatics). Bruker #8 (scientific equipment). Nanosphere #9 (molecular diagnostics). Hanger #10 (orthotics & prosthetics). Level 3 Communications #11 (network & Internet services). US Airways #12 (travel). LookSmart #13 (Internet-based advertising). Spire #14 (solar). Trimble Navigation #15 (positioning services). Stewart Enterprises (deathcare) #16. Amazon.com (e-commerce) is at #17 and this is bad news for the GDT::Portfolio because it should be at #30.

And now for the bottom 13...

Our two stem cell holdings--Aastrom Biosciences and StemCells Inc.--are at #18 and #30, respectively. Our two battery holdings--Altair Nanotechnologies and Axion Power Intl.--are at #25 and #26, respectively. iParty (party crap, oops... supplies) is at #20. Our telecommunications holdings (which are tiny investments)--Comcast, Alcatel-Lucent and AT&T--are at #19, #27 and #28, respectively. Having Alcatel-Lucent at #27 sucks. Our security holdings--Kratos Defense & Security Solutions & Mace Security Intl.--are at #21 and #23, respectively. Capstone Therapeutics #24 (drugs) and Digital Angel #29 (RFID) are going to be liquidated before 02012 comes to an end.
