So what are the companies which have done well? I'm assuming you continue
to hold them because you believe they'll continue to do well.

Our largest holdings are in Corning (GLW). We bought at a serious dip,
shortly after telecom blew up at under 3 bucks.
It recovered to the high 20's, now has pulled back a bit to the low 20's.

The others are in related technology areas. I pick and choose myself,
based on my knowledge of the technology and what I believe it has as a
future. Optical stuff, mostly.

And yes, we will hold them. I really don't fret or worry about them.

It seems that you, like most people, are hesitant about giving out the
names of companies that are doing well. I've wondered about that. If you
told folks the names, and the folks went out and bought the stock, then the
demand for the stock, and therefore the price, would go up. No? So it would
seem to be in a holder's best interests to always divulge the name of a
stock that's doing well for them.
