Why we bought them?

A short summary of the reason for buying each holding and a sell strategy if any:












































1Philip Morris (MO)Core Defensive Holding. Might sell, if yield falls below 3
2Kraft Foods (KFT)Core Defensive Holding. Might sell, if yield falls below 3
3Plum Creek Timber (PCL)Stable Income (under values assets): Largest Real Estate holder in US - Timber REIT.
4Pfizer (PFE)Defensive holding based on UV2 Dow screening.
5ICICI Bank (IBN)Should track Indian economy. Proxy for Asian economy?
6Taiwan Semi (TSM)China/Taiwan economy exposure. Good Dividend. Semiconductor exposure.
7Petro China (PTR)China & Energy (Oil) exposure. Oil major with good yield. BRK holding.
8Harvest Energy (HTE)Yield play on CanRoys - 17%. 73% oil, 27% gas with refinery diversification. Short-term uncertainities on confusion regarding Canadian tax law change that takes effect in 2011 brought the price down ~30%
9Canetic Resources (CNE)Yield play on CanRoys - 17% - $.20/month distribution. 53% oil, 47% gas. Short-term uncertainities on confusion regarding Canadian tax law change that takes effective 2011 brought the price down ~30%
10Advantage Energy Fund (AAV)CanRoy that is somewhat more speculative. Should consider exiting on a wild swing in the positive direction (hopefully)…
11Google (GOOG)Growth. Change in MOTT will be a sell reason.

Thanks for sharing your portfolio, percents, and detailed reasons for the choices.

I'm not sure if I would have the courage to do that. But I want you to know you do have appreciative readers.
