My Non-Retirement Portfolio

Well, here's a quick snap shot of my non-retirement portfolio. As you can see it's a very concentrated portfolio. Companies such as Invitrogen (IVGN) and Qiagen (QGEN) were purchased on the day of the IPO. I mainly invest for the long term and trade very little. When I started investing, I over traded and realized that a lot of the gains vanished through transactions costs and taxes. So now, I mainly buy and hold growth stocks (strong eps and growing free cash flow).
