Today I bring you : The State of the Llamafolio.  For the newcomers out there, the Llamafolio is my stock portfolio.  Currently I use Zecco as my brokerage, and I’ve been very happy with them.  What I haven’t been happy with, of course, is the performance of my stock purchases.  Stocks haven’t exactly had a good showing over the last year.  That being said, let’s take a look at each stock I own.

• BAC – I recently picked up some more BAC because I think it is undervalued.  If I had more “spare” money, I would purchase more.  Over the next several years, I think BAC will recover spectacularly.  That being said, it’s even more of a long term play than most stocks.  I don’t expect BAC to recover any time soon.
• BRT – Down 65% since my purchase, with no signs of recovery any time soon.  I’ll hold this issue just because I don’t want to lock in a 65% loss.  There’s no telling if or when it will recover…. but it will surely be a long time.
• COP – ConocoPhillips is down 36% since my purchase.  I’d love to add more COP to my llamafolio, because I think oil is a sure bet going forward.  I’ll wait it out for another drop though.
• KO – Down “just” 26%.  In these days, that’s not too horrible.  There’s a reason KO is a blue chip – it’s a huge, solid company.  Long term I have no doubts KO will be solid.
• GE – I purchased a small GE position recently, when I added more BAC.  The yield is currently at 9% – that’s ridiculous for a blue chip.  I’ll be looking to pick up some more GE soon too.
• PRFT – If this stock comes back up to my purchase price, I’ll probably unload.  I’m in no rush though.
• SLV – The silver ETF is down, since the price of silver tanked last year.  This should head north this year – and I’ll unload when it does.  I’ll either purchase another beaten stock, or some more physical silver.  I’m not going to pursue paper silver and gold, anymore.
• TELOZ – TELOZ suffered some hurricane damage last year, and took a beating.  I did purchase some more after the price drop, to lower my cost average.  It hasn’t recovered in price yet, but I have no worries.  This will be a solid performer soon enough, and keep those dividends flying in.
• VDSI – A bank security software company when confidence in banks is at an all-time low? Yes please.  I’ll hang tight, and I expect to be rewarded.  Eventually.

That’s about it.  Mostly long term plays at this point, with some reaaaaaaaaaaaaaly long term plays ( think BAC ).  Overal my portfolio has taken a 43% beating…. that’s horrific.  But I feel pretty Ok with my choices, and their futures.  What stocks are you holding right now?
