Re: 2007 & Beyond - It Ain't Over Yet, Motherfuckers
Uh, OMG, Tully Blanchard on commentary. A regular occurrence please.
10-Man Tag Team Match:
I guess it really is the best choice of opener in the long-run. The only other two wouldve been the U.S & IC title matches, but we all know how unpopular your decision to have JBL open a PPV at WM was {
} and Daniels/Hardy has been pushed stronger than a curtain-jerker. Pretty bog-standard affair in the opening with the awesomeness that is Jamie OWNS Noble getting himself into all kinds of shit with Rey {
@ that slap} before we eventually get all settled down to the way things should be. Nice to see Punk actually taking the lead, so to speak, for his team, and wanting a piece of ole Billy Regal. Their feud is actually quite sweet now; more than just your standard rookie/veteran shenanigans. Poor ole Chavito becoming the sacrificial lamb. This is basically either setting up the usual big face comeback win or somehow the heels stop the big comeback in the eleventh hour with a dirty tactic to steal it. Love your descriptions of The Alpha Males bizarre antics. Bigger push plz. Thank the lord youre keeping Henry & Kane out of this for the majority, because when Henry did eventually come in he just slowed this thing RIIIIIGHT down. Cmon, Mark. Gotta love T-Lo at ringside though. JIVIN. Just thinking about it, Finlay has done bugger all really too, except for a few right hands when he came in earlier. This is the first time youve written a match with The New Breed in it in full, and I have to say your description of both Burke N Brown make it seem like you are quite high on them {a contrast to their jobberdom thus far on SD}. TAM especially, has looked like quite the monster I must say. Uh oh @ Regal going to the trunks. Unless hes horny, that can only mean one thing. Watch out, Punkster. NIIIIIICE spots from Mysterio, Chavo & Kane to put 8 of the 10 down & out. Love him or hate him, The Big WHITE Machine is always good for that spot. GAB repeat? NO, Punk actually catches Bill by surprise this time & gets a HUUUUUGE win for himself. Wow, I certainly wasnt expecting Punk to get the pin, and certainly wasnt expecting Regal to take the pin. Evens their score quite nicely though, what with Punk winning on SD, Regal winning at Bash, and now Punk getting one here. Nice. Pretty good match. Probably needed a bit more Kane/Henry interaction, as, lets face it, thats what the people pay to see, but they wouldve killed the speed of this match/opener, so Ill let that slide. Theyll meet down the line Im sure. Fine choice of opener.
More of Big Daves anger management issues I see. God, I cant wait to see how this night turns out for The Animal.
John INTERVIEW GAAAAWD Layfield. Still, new IC Champ would be nice.
Intercontinental Championship Match:
Showtime for my boy Charlie Haas here. Its sad that I consider a win in your thread as big as a win for him in real life
Love JBLs antics at the start of the contest, pretending to be fair & all before just slapping the taste out of Chaz. Story = established. Haas must prove himself worthy of being in the same ring as a former WWE Champion. Similar to RVD/Michaels Id imagine, though with slightly less glorious counters Id imagine. LMAO @ Bradshaw using Angelina as a human shield. Why in Gods name would any valets ever stick with that prick. Nice to see Haas showing why he is slightly different to Kurt Angle {not just a mini-me} by showing off his great athleticism & high-flying ability with the Suicide Dive & CrossBody etc. Other than Layfields usual stream of brutal, ugly offence, Haas has pretty much dominated so far. Love the DDT counter to the Last Call, kind of similar to Guerreros to the F-5 or HBKs to the F-U Id imagine. Haas is looking fairly monstrous though with these suplexes. JBL is not a small man and Charlies thrown him around like a rag doll with an Exploder, a belly-to-belly, FOUR Germans, with no real emphasis. Haas isnt that big, so if youre pushing him as so strong, you should probably allude to the fact that JBL is nearly as heavy as someone as Kane. Gives Haas a hell of a lot of credibility. Big contrast between the opening & closing stages of the match that really reminded me of Carlito/JBL from WM. Slow, methodical, almost boring to begin with, but once we head into the finishing straight with the young face really upping the pace, in comes the counter wrestling and Bradshaw is forced to use at least some of his wrestling ability. Oh dear, when JBL taps out and still survives, you know its not going to be a night for the face. At least with that Charlie might be able to wangle himself a rematch down the line, or at least continue his push with at least some semblance of credibility intact. Thought maybe youd fooled me when Layfield fucked up and stiffed Williams by mistake, but alas it wasnt to be. Nice way to end the contest too with Haas youthful impatience getting the better of him, giving up on the third German, hits the ropes and ends up eating a Clothesline From Hell instead. Nice to see JBL winning clean for once, though all the shitty tactics and Ms. Williams interference would suggest otherwise. Hopefully this is just the start of great things for The Haas Man, as you always seem to have a greater plan when it comes to him. Nice applause for hi afterward. Getting over? I hope so. Good showing.
AAAAAND suddenly Rock is face again.
Sweet interview from Naitch. Batista sounds unbeatable, Batista sounds unstoppable, so hes going to lose.
Money In The Bank Contract On The Line:
Surprised to see this match up so early on the card, considering the way its been pushed. Has me wondering if this wont be the last well be seeing of Mr. Money in the Bank {whoever he may be} on this night. I know straight up that this isnt going to be pretty, but this match is really all about story, and a hell of a story at that. Man, Dave really is pissed about his situation isnt he? He didnt even find Flairs handshake/hair stroke funny! Tistas a robot, seriously. If you replace Shawn Michaels speed with Batistas power, the opening stages of this contest were pretty similar to THE MATCH from WM XXIV, with Flair being bested in the opening stages, but not feeling that his opponent/friend is fully into it and trying to shake that out of him. I can see these cheap moves/thumb to the eyes coming back to bite Naitch in the ass if they only serve to piss the beast off.
Its really quite eerie how nervous this match is making me, simply waiting for Big Dave to lose his mind and kill Flair at any moment. Youre doing quite a spiffing job building it up, even for a Tista Mark like myself; I fear for Flair. See what I did there?
Oh, Goddamn it!!
Naitch is hilarious even in pain, as Batista softens up the only part of the body he knows how: THE BACK~ Slams, ring apron, and the shitty bearhug all setting Naitch up for the big face comeback to prevent the dreaded Demon Bomb. Wow, I think that Cross Body was actually Flairs first real offence in this match, as everything else has been all rakes & thumbs to the eyes, and CHOPS~ Awesome spot with Dave just rolling through CENA-ESQUE with Flair in his arms. That would get the big
oh fuck
reaction from everyone. Sweet counters from Naitch though, knowing his student too well, and VINTAGE {Michael OWNS Cole} the accidental head butt to the nuts. Had to get the Figure Four in eventually. If Flair is to get the win it wont be via submission. The day you make David Batista tap out is the day hell freezes over
The nit-picker in me would say
lame leg selling, Dave, you were just in the Figure Four & now youre hitting the Spear
but the logical thinker in me realises that even with a bad leg, if youre 66, 300lbs, you can manage a five yard spring even at half the pace and still make it seem as though youre a goddamn freight train. This aint looking good for Flair at all, as the Spinebuster rears its awesome head, but SHADES OF ANGLE FROM LAST YEAR -- not to be. I guess it really was just too much to ask, Batista is just too monstrous. SPINEBUSTER. BAM. DEMON BOMB. BLAM! Weve got ourselves a new Mr. Money in the Bank. Had to happen I guess if you wanted to keep Big Dave as THE MAN in this thread {which you obviously, uh, do}. Relief on the face of Batista afterward? Maybe because he didnt have to hurt Flair too much. We get the customary embrace and I thought maybe that was that, but then you give us this line:
The two stars then leave the ring and head back up the ramp Batista shaking his head in disgust.
What the hell could that possibly mean? Is this night not over for the saga of Ric Flair & Dave Batista? Im excited. Like I said at the start, the story is really what makes this match, and it was good, despite the match being nothing special. I fully expect a rematch though down the line. Good effort
Weird tension between Haas & CC. Not sure what thats there for unless one or more of them get drafted soon. Oh, and Helms is such an awesome prick.
Smart. Bringing up HBKs quite frankly incredible record at SummerSlams. Also knocked off Big Van OWNS Vader, which is always something to brag about. Lost to Hogan though
Summer Games Gauntlet Match:
Here we go. This is probably the first match {Flair/Batista is all story for me} that Ive really been looking forward to. No real surprises to see Morrison & Doane up first as a way of continuing their little feud. I expect THE PHENOM~ {serious WTF?} to get the duke here as revenge for, uh, Vengeance, but its not going so well for him in the opening stage as Morrison is getting in all of his big MOVES~ Break dance leg drop, that AWESOME Springboard Enziguiri etc. But he fucks up royally when it comes to the Corkscrew Split-Leg. Oh, so you arent going the Wolfy route with this gauntlet then? Getting the falls over pretty quickly? Fair enough. Kennys comeback lasted all the time it takes to hit a Powerslam, but the sexy of sexiness Melina screws him badly and Morrison hits the awesomely named Moonlight Drive for the win. Well, this was not an impressive outing for young Ken Doane. Looked like quite the jobber tonight unfortunately. Whos next?
Oh hey, Carlito :O Everyone knows I like this guy now. Glad to see a different pace to this fall with Morrison actually taking it to Lito straight away to avoid the fatigue factor. Going after the mid-section of CCC? That could come back to haunt Caribbean Cool if he advance. Oh SNAP, love the reversal from the last fall with Melina actually dicking things up for her man-chum this time and getting stiffed in the face in the process. Thats Angelina AND Melina whove been nailed so far tonight, if Alison Danger & Lita end up getting hit too, Im seriously calling the womans welfare office on you Mr. Mac. So Johnny Boy falls victim to a Back Stabber and a pretty beat up Lito advances, but Morrison did have quite a tasty showing. Intercontinental title push Id imagine
PORTER~ Heres a guy I truly think has everything a guy needs to be World Champion. This Jesus push youre giving him doesnt even bother me. AND IM A REALISM BUFF!!! Love the way youre portraying Big Lu as some bad ass kind of UFC/Boxing coach. He suits that role quite well. Build on his character plz at the same you do Montels. I knew that mid-section would come back to bite Carly in the ass as VP & Lu are really laying into him. Good stuff. We actually get some of Litos good ole fashioned SPEED as he makes a comeback. Pretty stupid to hit a Moonsault when youve got banged up ribs though, eh? More interference results in an elimination, as Carlito knocks down Reigns {I think I would to be honest, the guy didnt shut up throughout. Luther OWNS Reigns} and ends up getting the PLAYAS BOOT & Playmaker. It wouldve been quite nice had Montel slightly modified his boot to hit Lito in the ribs maybe, but it was still a decent finish. I wonder if well ever get a clean finish in this Gauntlet. Will Big Lu/Playgirls still out here & Armando Estrada still to come, I doubt it.
Yes, we do. And thats not good news for Mr. Porter.
You said it, Tully
Oh man, Angle IS ON FUCKING FIRE from the get-go, just owning VP all over the place with Suplexes straight away. Such a class heel Porter, wanting a little time out. NO WAY, MONTEL GERMANS ANGLE~ I guess, much like his qualifying match with RVD, you really want to push Mr. Porter as genuine World title calibre wrestler who can hang with the big boys. Suits me. Hes awesome. Didnt last long though, as Angle gets right back on Porter, putting him down with the OLYMPIC SLAM ESTRADA??? What the hell??? This aint looking good for Kurt at all. Reigns wears a suit??!! Oh, hes doubly awesome. Please go into lengthy descriptions of all of his & Montels OUTFITZ~ every show. No way, no way, NO WAY!!! MVP JUST ELIMINATED ANGLE!!! Holy shit, whered that come from???!!! Whats Umaga doing? Hes just killed Kurt no youre kidding me? MVP WINS THE GAUNTLET VIA COUNT OUT!!! Jesus Christ, you just complete OWNED my predictions. A 4-month rookie in this thread is now #1 Contender? Where did this come from. Judging from Porters reactions he wasnt in cahoots with Estrada, so why would AAE & Mags do this? Surely not just do screw Angle? They had a World Title shot in the palm of their hands, what were they thinking. This has got to be part of some greater scheme, and not just to set up Umaga/Angle at Unforgiven. Maybe Coach has already guaranteed Umaga a title shot. God, I dont know. All I know is that VPs reaction after he was classic, and that really unpredictable added a lot to what was heading towards being a predictable & fairly dull contest. Well saved, son.
I think maybe we need a rundown of what PPVs youre doing this year. Last year we had Bad Blood instead of Cyber Sunday right?
Angle = Psycho. Cant wait for his inevitable WAR with Umaga.
United States Championship Match:
Im expecting this contest to rival the opener & JBL/Haas for shortness, but also for it to be the fastest paced contest until we get to our good ole WWE Tag division a bit later. Glad to see that you havent abandoned psychology or story like people I know (~____~) as it wouldve been just utterly ridiculous had Matt come out looking to wrestle The Fallen Angel rather than rip his fucking head off. Looks like Daniels got a little bit stunned by this onslaught I guess; for such a calculating, emotionless sociopath, its probably hard for him to understand such an emotional attack like Hardys. You know its PPV when Matt Hardy hits a PLANCHA~ LMAO, make that 3-out of-3 for valets getting stiffed at this PPV. Danger takes quite a weak bump here, but given the way she usually conducts herself, I doubt thats the last weve seen of her shenanigans. Ah ha, and theres the intelligence of The Fallen Angel. Much like we saw him do with Sabin & Mysterio over and over again, he lures Matt on in and then hits a Codebreaker? Or whatever; I know what you meant. And here comes the onslaught of Daniels.
Gotta love how fast this guys churns out MOVEZ~ like theres no tomorrow, from the top rope {Split-Legged Moonsault} to the more power moves {Tilt-a-whirl, Suplexes etc.}, as well all his awesome boxer-like jabs & kicks. He really knows how to keep a fast, emotional opponent like Hardy at bay. SIDE EFFECT~ These two have moves just MADE for counters, so this finishing straight, which I think were entering, should be a blast. Leg Drop? No, BLUE THUNDER DRIVER~ The pace is really picking up now to, dare I say, Steamboat/Savage potential? Counter the Angel Wings, counter the Twist of Fate, DEATH VALLEY DRIVER!~! Wow, Hardys really breaking out all the moves to get this one done, turning Daniels BME into a Crucifix Powerbomb; havent seen Mattitude break that out in forever. This is blowing the match that the two had in real life in ROH out of the water so far. Sometimes, ROH need to realise that shorter matches can be just as effective. Really good show of Daniels freakish strength, countering Hardys Angels Wings pin counter into a backslide. VEEEEEERY nice. THERE IT IS, TWIST OF FATE~! Out of the blue like it should and I get it wrong yet again with my prediction that Matt was a mere transitional champion. After what we saw on SD though with Jeffrey, I expect 100% for this feud to continue, with C.D. really taking Matt to his limits before finally getting the belt. I have to say, Mac, this was probably the MOTN thus far. You kept it short, but at such a frantic pace that it echoed Steamboat/Savage greatness. It also followed a similar story, with Matt trying to avenge his injured brother & Steamboat was trying to avenge his own injury. Cant wait for the inevitable rematch between these two, I hope. This really was a very, very well put together little match.
Mickies a freak. Too much time? I know shell be thinking that later on too.
The Rubber Match:
It is indeed, Shawn, it is indeed, but for who more? Will Michaels prove he deserves to remain in this UNTOUCHABLE position at the top of the mountain, or will Van Dam ASCEND to a similar echelon? Wow, I was expecting RVD to get the better of most of the exchanges in this contest, leading to his inevitable defeat, but the opening stages just took me completely by surprise. Van Dam is just one step quicker than Shawny Shawn each & every time. Even HBKs dickish tactics {nice to see you differing from the chain-wrestling of Backlash btw} cant save him as he gets dumped on his ass time and time again. HERE WE GO~! I thought it was only a matter of time before Michaels finds an opening, and surprise/surprise its with RVD taking one risk too many and missing that big twisting leg drop, fucking up his knee royally. If Jeff Hardy was anywhere near as good as Van Dam {and we both agree he really fucking isnt rt?} this is the kind of story theyve been telling with Hunter/Jeff all year. Can Jeff rise to the occasion & win the big one/match. Strange how H & HBK always seem to be the guys placed in the position of egotistical buriers eh? There cant be something in that surely can there?
I think hes hurt
Yep, no denying HBK is entertaining as hell as a dick heel, but nice to see you exposing his underrated {and ignored} vicious side too with the attack to the limbs of Mr. Monday Night.
Almost reminiscent of his dismantlement of Cena at WM 23, Michaels picks RVDs leg apart, even with the steel post as a TAG TEAM PARTNER~! Yes, I said it. Nice way for Van Dam to try & get back into the thing though with a page right out of the Shawn Michaels {& Ric Flair} playbook and poking HBK in the eye. Now its RVD with all of the answers to Shawns repetitive offence, slamming him against the steel post, avoiding the Cross Body, hitting the Split-Legged Moonsault {a lot of those tonight} etc. Glad to see you didnt just dismiss his leg injury either as VAN DAM CAN SELL~! He just doesnt sell like a drunken crash dummy like Michaels does sometimes
I didnt think that the win would come for either man in a stereotypical manner, so when Michaels first missed the Elbow but NAILED SCM out of sync I thought that was probably it. NO~! Almost a repeat of earlier on when Shawn realised Rob had fucked up his leg, Van Dam clocks on that Michaels stupid back is playing up again following that tumble off the top, and zones in with everything targeted to that one area of the man. I never, EVER thought the finish would come the way it did, with Shawns back letting him down on the climb up to the top {thats what Im presuming} & Rob taking advantage, knocking him off. Really liked the way Michaels underestimated Van Dam & crawled away, made the 5* Frog Splash sound even move awesome when he actually hit it to HBKs BACK~! No THATS the way to beat The Showstopper. INCREDIBLE~! I never in my wildest dreams thought youd actually pull the trigger with The Whole FN Show & put him over the legend, but I guess I was the one underestimating you. Youve got yourself another main eventer on your hands now. Wow, youre racking em up for sure now. As for this match; it was a cracking way to end a great feud based all about respect & one mans mission to get to the top. It started off looking like he would never make it at Backlash with the fast paced, athletic affair, then he got it back on track on Raw, before, in this rather bad-tempered but much more technical wrestling affair, FINALLY proving the doubters wrong. You really shut me up, Mac. Not quite as good as Backlash, but this was still a great match, equalling Daniels/Hardy.
ICEMAN~! Oh no, whats happened to Naitch?
Go & tell Batista? I think its pretty obvious whos responsible for this but why?
Uh oh, psycho Edge is back. Oh yeah, sociopath Orton is alive & kicking.
Womens Championship Match:
I havent commented on any of the VPs yet, but this was damn, damn good one. Really shows how epic youve made your Womens division, and with two Divas? Quite an achievement. Cmon, Mickie, buck up, gal. The way Mickies starting this thing out down in the corner, its almost the perfect set up for her to somehow pull off a miraculous heel steal. But I just cant see that happening tonight. Smart tactics from Ms. James to try & get the hell outta dodge. I know thats what Id do if I was faced by her. Shed kick my ass Would be quite fun though. Glad to see youre acknowledging the time in your writing, as its a sure-fire way to make this the most tension-filled bout on the card. OHHHH, Mick just got CREAMED~! Weird choice from Vickie going for submissions in a time limit match. Surely if youre racing against the clock you would only go for a submission if it was on par with the Ankle Lock or Crippler Crossface, something you could hit out of nowhere. Oh shit, oh shit, thats it. Thats who you have made Victoria into. Shes a female {and much more attractive} version of Samoa Joe from his 2005 run~! I knew she reminded me of someone, and thats who it is. Her breaking out the Rear Naked Choke just confirmed it. Use more regularly as a finishing manoeuvre please; it suits her perfectly. Mickies desperation is just oozing through in this match, from her {literal] suicide dive through the ropes to shake Vickie off, to the leg sweep on the steps, her repeated covers, her stiff crossface blows. She really is like an Evil Queen from a Fairy Tale or something, who knows her time is up. Really good final stretch too that probably outdid the Daniels/Hardy one for sheer excitement. I thought that maybe, due to Victorias intense domination, she would perhaps be on the losing end somehow, but when Mickie avoided the Widows Peak & hit the Mickie-Rana & Mick-DDT, I got that feeling. Great finish with the constant roll ups & pin falls; now THATS Steamboat/Savage hands down. I wouldve said originally that Mickie needed to get in a few roll ups of her own in the finishing stretch, but that just wouldnt have fitted at all, as she was desperately hoping for the time to run down, while Vick was desperately trying to get the win in any way possible. It makes sense for Mickie to be on the defensive & Victoria the offensive. Oh, the symbolism of the GOODNIGHT KISS~! WrestleMania repeated well & true. WIDOWS PEAK~! Victoria is the champion at last, ending what has quite possibly been the greatest Womens/Divas/Knockouts feud in BTB history. Seriously, Mac. Kudos to you. This match really was superbly booked. Youd have to be an idiot to expect a 30-minute bout in the Womens division {thats not where the most interest lies}, but you stuffed so much tension, drama and high-stakes into this match, a mere 10-minutes, that made it mean just as much. Great,
writing. Its not quite the MOTN, but its one hell of an accomplishment.
Poor Naitch.
WWE Tag Team Championship Match:
JEEEEEEEZ. What a crazy start to the match~! London & Kendrick just completely giving the proverbial middle finger to both The Carolina Connection & their little stipulation. It makes sense really; The Hooligans didnt get to pick the stip, so why should they respect it? Well I guess its plainly obvious whos taking on the role of Villain for tonights production then. Loving the speed & tenacity of Londrick too, no wasted motion whatsoever, going all Shelley & Sabin on up with the Drop Toe Hold/Kick combo, followed by their numerous leaping Double Foot/Mushroom Stomps. Benji is taking a bit of a pounding tonight. Is Spanky meant to be the ring leader? He seems that way. Finally Shelton actually starts to get back into this thing, but gets caught with a pretty tasty sounding Dropsault/Sunset Flip combination. The Hooligans are well & truly heeling it up tonight, aint they just? Benji hits his Dragon Whip, but Londons cheap tactics kips Helms away from getting the tag. Damn, I never thought L&K would be this effective as a heel unit. Once Greg finally got the tag, this thing becomes utter, utter chaos. Glad to see you still pushing these guys as the best tag team wrestlers in the world by actually having utilise, uh, tag team manoeuvres. A lot of people forget about those. Synchronicity. Thats what tag team wrestling is all about. The Hooligans, obviously, have more team moves {since theyre ready made for you] but you had The CC break out the double-knee gutbuster, but that was rapidly eclipsed by the awesomeness that was the Poetry In Motion in a Shooting Star Press. Love the one-upmanship between these two tandems. Sums up what this rivalry between these youngsters has been all about. Benjis becoming the star of the show at this point, taking out Spanky with his awesome PLANCHA~ before busting out his new Corner Powerbomb to break London in half. Loving the way the ref has clearly just said fuck it and turned it into a Tornado Tag Match. Sick spot with the Shining Wizard through the ropes as Helms & Spanky are taken out of the equation so that London & Shelton can go one-on-one for the final stretch. I wasnt surprised when London kicked out of the T-Bone {who doesnt nowadays?} but I was surprised when he got outta the Victory Roll. Thought we had a Bret/Owen moment right there. Benjamin breaks out something old school BLOCKBUSTER NECKBREAKER AND THE CAROLINA CONNECTION RETAIN~! Another match with a very, very frantic last few minutes, but probably the first that sustained it throughout. Great pace. Another feud ender too Id imagine. Not sure who will be up next for either team, as The New Breed would possibly be too obvious. Perhaps a new team? Still, this has been an EPIC feud of matches, even though this was the, uh, first one youve ever written in full
Regardless of that, you get the picture. Id say that I was probably expecting something better from this contest, something pushing 5*s perhaps, but I guess thats what we were supposed to have got back at The Great American Bash, and this was just a way to round it all off nicely with quite a bitter, bad tempered affair. Couldve been better, but it was still amazing.
WWE Championship Match:
Wow, I just realised how much you love the WWE Tag Team titles; putting them this high up the card. Quite awesome. Anyway, MAIN EVENTS TIME~! Great VP for our little TLC war here tonight. Orton/Edge really is the most epic feud you have going right now & coming to an end tonight. I still think it wouldve been absolutely perfect had Orton still been champion heading into the bout tonight and this was Edges true big moment. Lita not out here? Well, from the Valets you have brought out, theyve all ended up down & out, so youre still a filthy misogynist as far as Im concerned
Unsurprising beginning to the clash with Edge just completely beating the hell out of Orton with a raging flurry. Maybe it wouldve started like that as soon as Orton came out, like with Hardy/Daniels earlier, but I guess had to wait until his belt got raised up high. Loving the ease with which Orton is taking to this match, tossing Edge around,
Orton take a look at the table in front of him almost as if hes shopping, going so far as to put his finger on his chin in thought.
Nice. Psycho. No messing around in this one. Ortons breaking out the chairs right away. His pace is so perfect for these kind of one-on-one gimmick, much in the same way Undertakers is, because he is so damn good as being a methodical, cold bastard. He might be out of place in the 8-Man TLCs of old perhaps, but when it comes to battles like this hes in his element. Nice counter from Edge slamming Randalls spine into the chair, only for Orton to hit the 2nd best {Bob Hollys OWNS} dropkick in the business knocking the ladder right back.
This next spot with Orton setting up the 2 chairs like a guillotine almost and then Suplexing Edge right through em is why hes so good in these matches. Reminds me of his LMS match with Hunter from last year when, for the first time ever, I realised that Orton was actually GREAT in the ring, seeing as it was actually HIS match, which is unusual for H, as he usually has to control everything. I guess Randy learnt from the best eh? LADDER TIME~! I love your descriptions of Ortons eyes whenever he sees Edge getting up and he just matter-o-factly climbs down to inflict more damage on the poor prick. More methodical, calculating pacing from TLK, slamming Edge first off the ladder & then through the chair again. SIIIICK. Good lord, were barely into it and Im already devastated that Orton wont be champion again for a long, LOOOONG time, as his little counter from Edges ladder push and then taking him down with his Backbreaker was awesome, but
I thought this was
was the absolute icing on the cake. Uh oh. Edges back in the game now. Orton misses the RKO on the Ladder {hope that actually happens though}, gets Powerslammed & then gets a royal HIDING with a steel chair. Sorry, didnt like Edges maxin and relaxin. For once I actually think his psychotic character needs to be the stronger persona. Didnt Mr. Orton manhandle his girlfriend 6 days ago? Indeed so. Just a slight niggle I guess. THATS the way it should be, with Edge cracking Randy open with a sick chair shot. Surprised to see Orton the first to bleed, considering in all likelihood hes losing the match. Probably wont be too long till Edge follows suit though Id imagine. CONCHAIRTO~! Best finish to a Ladder Match ever imo, when Edge nailed Christian with a Conchairto atop the ladder 7 years ago. Echoes of the past? Theres the RKO, and the first real effort to go for the title belt {these two have really just been beating the shit out of each other havent they? Good psychology, man} but Edge in what sounded like a direct throwback to MITB 2005 smacks Orton in the arm with a chair. Oh man, Edge actually got lucky that time, eating his own chair but falling into the ladder fortunately. First big spot in the match as Orton goes over the top rope, which Im sure will be repeated later on with tables involved.
Ah yes, as I thought, the big spot was set up with Edge looking to do damage to Randy with the ladder & table, rather than get the belt {as you said PSYCHOLOGY~ 101}. Big mistake though. Not quite sure how Orton would manage to leap off the ladder in mid-air and land on the apron, but Ill let that slide for now. SIIIIIICK spot with the RKO through the table off the ladder. I thought it would come off the ladder too, but that mightve been to much for even these two bastards to endure. Randys taken the worst of this so far though; I hope this means great things {for me} for the outcome. HOW THE HELL DID EDGE GET UP THERE SO FAST~!? Sorry, but he did just get RKOd through a blooming table. Well, reading it over, Orton was down & out for quite a long time too, so I guess that kind of makes up for it. MASTERS & MERCURY!!! WTF??? Maybe its the stupid dick in me but the last thing I expected in this tremendous feud ender was interference. Dont know, but it kind of taints it somewhat. The heat for The RKO Army would be astonishing after this, putting Edge through a table, so I recommend you book them higher than tag team jobbers & Edge fodder from now on {I quite like em anyway}. Masters looked quite beastly taking Orton up the ladder on his shoulders too CODY RHODES & DH SMITH???!!! WHAT ON EARTH~!!?? I guess these two have a real reason to want to come down after the beating they too a couple o weeks back from Orton & co. but these two like actual jobbers of Val Venis & Eugene proportions? Well, they aint after this, thats for sure. Im not a fan of this interference, but at least its out of the way now, and I suppose it does make sense if you look at it logically, that Masters & Mercury would want to help their boss and Rhodes & Smith would want revenge. Youre off the hook. LITA~!!! Now this interference has reached the astronomic levels of TLC II. A big thumbs down at Lita taking down Orton {despite what the idiot crowd thought} but I laughed when he just got right back up and dropped her on her head. Make that EVERY-SINGLE-VALET-HAS-NOW-BEEN-BEATEN-BY-DDMAC~!!! Youre officially sick, my friend, and I pity you, I really do.
Here comes the traditional HUGEFUCKINGMASSIVERIDICULOUSLYBIGLADDER~!!! Wow, pretty quick flurry of offense from Edge, Edge-O-Matic, Edgecution, Spear and Orton just keeps on getting up? Wow, TLK has well and truly become A GOD in this thread. Glorious. HES LAUGHING TOO~!!! HES THE JOKER FROM THE DARK KNIGHT~!!! This is great. The ending just completely summed this feud up perfectly; Edge has it all in his grasp, but he remembers the past 8-months {Id imagine} and pulls off that AWWWWWSOME spot to break Randall into a thousand pieces. Makes sense. Makes perfect sense. And Edge climbs up to get the belt & retain the title, ending {take a breath} this LOOOOOONG feud.
At the top of the stage, Edge turns around, and stares back down into the ring, at an unmoving Orton. The WWE Champion takes his hands and runs them through his hair, before yanking on the ends of it, angrily gritting his teeth, this feud and war with Orton more than taking its toll on his physical and mental health. I think weve seen that look in his face before, btw
Woah, what? Heel turn? Surely not.
Anyway, Mac, take a bow, not only was that match pretty darn great, but this feud as a whole has really set your thread afire for the last year & a bit. One of the most intense wars Ive ever had the pleasure of following. Where next for these two well, for Edge its VP I guess but where next in the long-term sense I really dont know. Maybe a Draft? As for the match itself, psychologically speaking, it was flawless; entertainment-wise it wasnt quite the spectacle I was expecting, with Orton pacing really carrying it for the majority. Id say it matched Daniels/Hardy, RVD/HBK & CC/Hooligans, but it didnt quite top em.
Jim Jones? My knowledge of R&B is quite abysmal. I think John Cena should start listening to Bruce THE BOSS Springsteen though for the hell of it. Montel is going to be so awesome with this. Ah shit, I was hoping he would take his title shot to Unforgiven so we get a proper feud outta it, cause him cashing in tomorrow pretty much guarantees defeat. I guess, from a heel standpoint, it makes sense though. Well see.
Nice little segment from Vinnie Mac. I think you had a Draft Lottery around this time last year right, so it makes sense. Odds are someone like Orton will be switching brands. I know you want me to think that was Undertaker messing with the lights, but knowing you it was probably Cena dicking with us. To be honest, Steph is annoying me right now; this storyline with her & Cena & H needs to get a move on. A co-GM? Woah. Probably just be Vince, but maybe youll shock us with someone BAAAAALIN.
World Heavyweight Championship Match:
Okay, now THIS right here is the baby Ive been looking forward to all night. Mt favourite superstar of the modern crop against possibly the crème de la crème of the former generation. For starters, youre clearly hyping it as such, with that Warrior/Hogan, Austin/Rock, HBK/Hogan, HBK/Hart type moment as they meet face-to-face in the centre of the ring. This is what separates you & makes you a better match writer than so many other people around these parts, you know how to get emotion into your matches plain & simple, and thats what makes them GREAT in the end. This aint gonna be pretty, as we see straight away from the slugfest to kick things off, but Kennedy goes cheap and OWNS Rocky all the way to the outside. Nice mind games from KK, giving it all the trash talking so far. This must be bizarre for the biggest trash-talker of all time, Rocky, to face. Oh dear, and Kennedy PAYS FOR HIS SINS~! {Michael OWNS Cole} getting a neckbreaker & getting drilled into the steel steps. Ouch. Big mistake pissing The Brahma Bull off, Ken. This is almost panning out like HBK/RVD so far, with the cocky veteran now zoning in on his younger opponents wounded leg. Nice spot from Rocky with the MISTER JABRONI line. Is he still in Hollywood mode? If KK had a cool jacket then Rock could go & slip it on a la Stone Cold. AWWWWSOME.
Kennedy almost gets back into it, but his leg is giving him some serious jip it seems, and he damn near feel Rockys version of the Sharpshooter to add to his woes. He does tastes a Samoan Drop, though quite how bad it would look with Double K going that slow is anyones guess. Rocks being pretty methodical here tonight, clearly taking on the role of Villain much like The Hooligans had to earlier. Anything get the job done. Suplex & Spine on the Pine? Does he use that as just a regular move or just a set up for The Peoples Elbow? Hmmm. Ah never mind, it actually works perfectly as a set up for the Sharpshooter, really doing some serious damage to the lower back, which Rock seems to now be focusing on following the Suplex etc. Kind of an Austin moment in the hold for KK, & Im pretty sure thats the parallel you were going for, Oh man, Ken FINALLY gets back into this thing with that counter and enziguiri {LOL @ Rocks trash-talking}. Now the reigning World Champ is rolling, big time clothesline after Rocks Nip up, Russian Leg Sweep, and that awesome FACEWASH~! No way, Kennedy HITS THE GREEN BAY PLUNGE THIS EARLY~! Wow, and Rocky kicks out? This one aint got much long left I reckon after that. Serves Rock right for being a cocky shit and going up top tbh. Wow, but KK kicks out of both the Suplex AAAAAAND the Rock Bottom to even the score. Whats it gonna take to put either o these hoss down? Thank God Rock missed that Peoples Elbow cause that AINT the right set up for it at all. KENNEDY HITS THE ROCK BOTTOM~! It just seems so right & yet so wrong at the same time. Not surprised KK hurt his leg with a kip up for Gods sake, not very smart, Ken {never seen him do a nip up either} PSYCHOLOGY~
Thats the proper set up and Ken is in trouble now. PEOPLES ELBOW~! No, well I thought that might put him away even though I think it s quite a weak & flashy manoeuvre. Glad it didnt. Thats the one I was forgetting, The Kenton Bomb. No, he misses that too, ROCK BOTTOM, GREEN BAY MEATPACKER, ROCK BOTTOM MIC CHECK~!!! KENNEDY WINS~! KENNEDY RETAINS~! Wow, I like the choice of the sudden finish, its how both the Mic Check & Rock Bottom work best I think. This was a pretty good contest, probably just beating out Kennedys bout with Batista for the best match of his youve wrote in full, although his bout with Cena @ The Royal Rumble was pretty wild too. The handshake afterward really added to the specialness, the almost one-off feel of this feud. It really did have that kind of feel that only guys like Rocky, Austin & Cena seem to be able to create. Not the MOTN or anything, but still pretty damn special.
Im just pretty damn speechless, much like you described the fans in the arena to be, after those last few pages. Quite unbelievable. What a difference a few minutes makes eh? Just when Kennedy was standing there on top of the world, still World Heavyweight Champion, out comes FUCKIN TRIPLE H AGAIN to beat him down for the second PPV running~! And if that was enough to poor Ken GODDAMNIT
S CASHING THAT MOTHERFUCKING BITCH IN ALREADY~!!! Stunned. Just stunned. Daves literally got the blood of his mentor on his hands, and he takes the World Heavyweight Championship back without a fight from the devastated Mr. Kennedy. If it was anyone other than Big Dave Id be in outage, and I still am a little bit, as I thought you were in this for the long run with KK, maybe till Survivor Series? The way I see it Kennedy/Hunter is happening, that sick son of a bitch Dave Batista/Ric Flair is happening whenever Naitch is healthy again {odds are hell be out after this}, and I guess Cena/Rock OR Taker. Like I said, Mac, one of the most astonishing climaxes to a BTB I have ever, ever read. Even your WM didnt leave me speechless for crying out loud.
You basically get the gist throughout this review that I loved this PPV, much like your WM, from start to finish. It was a much different animal {no pun intended} to your WM though, as that one was really all about how good your matches could be, while this one had the huge safety net of these incredible stories to fall back on, and as a result a few of the Big matches were slightly disappointing, but thats only be your ridiculously high standards. Overall, you didnt BEAT your WM, you went a whole different route with it, creating one of the most shocking and amazing climaxes in BTB PPV history, and in the process, one of the greatest PPVs of all time.

Huya Bioscience shook hands on a strategic alliance designed to help accelerate the development of promising pharmaceutical R&D originating in China's Taizhou National Medical Hitech Development Zone. The deal with the Taizhou business park, which is also known as China Medical City (CMC), gives Huya first rights to collaborate on new R&D by its pharmaceutical companies and to partner global development of promising drug projects. The agreement follows just weeks after Huya sealed a partnership with the School of Chinese Materia Medica of the Beijing University of Chinese Medicine (BUCM).
CMC is the first national level industrial development zone dedicated to medical and pharmaceutical industries, Huya points out. The business park includes top universities, research institutes, and companies. CMC also houses specialist R&D centers including the CAS Protein Engineering Research Center, the Vaccine Engineering Center, and macromolecule and small molecule R&D platform facilities.
Huya was established in 2004 specifically to facilitate and accelerate the global development and commercialization of pharmaceuticals originating in China. Headquarterd jointly in San Diego and Shanghai, the organization has established wide-reaching collaborations with academic and commercial biopharmaceutical partners in China.
Huya identifies promising preclinical and clinical stage compounds in China, helps to promote further research by its Chinese partners, and licenses the most promising compounds to provide a bridge into the international development process.
The firm says it is currently working with a number of compounds, two of which are currently available for licensing. HBI-3000 is a novel anti-arrhythmic drug, and HBI-8000 is a first-in-class oncology candidate.
HBI-3000 is a multi-ion channel blocker with potential use against both atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, Huya states. The drug has cleared Phase I trials in China, and Phase II trials there are pending. Pharmacology and toxicology studies with HBI-3000 are ongoing in the U.S., and a successful pre-IND meeting with FDA has clarified that the use of Chinese clinical data in U.S.-based trials will be acceptable, the firm adds.
HBI-8000 is a low nanomolar inhibitor of cancer-associated HDACs. A Phase II trial has already been completed in China, and two additional Phase II studies are ongoing. A Phase I trial in the U.S. is now planned for this year, and a pre-IND consultation with FDA has been successfully concluded, the firm adds.

Managing Your Portfolio - Weightings 65 commentsJan 21, 2013 4:07 PM
There has been a lot of discussion on how you should weight your positions. In my opinion, this is one of the most important aspects of portfolio management.
Part of the weighting issue also includes how many positions you should hold.
One of the most valuable lessons I learned when I was swing trading, was position sizing. Swing trading is an exercise in taking many small to medium profits, over and over again. It was also an exercise in managing the losses as well.
I recall a time when I had 5 or 6 successful trades in a row, felt confident, the market was rising, and I found a sure winner. I over weighted the position and I lost money on the trade. The worst part was, that trade cost me all of the profits I earned on the previous 5 or 6 trades.
I had an 80% success ratio on picking winners, but it was wiped out due to one bad trade. From that point on, every position was the same dollar amount.
As a dividend growth investor, this concept has saved me more than once. Most of us are knowledgeable about selecting positions. We know what to look for. We are confident our selections will follow through and provide us the returns we expect over the long term. Most of us are experienced enough to know that doesn't work in reality. Therefore, I prefer to insure myself against a case of "the stupids."
BP was my "stupid." EXC was another.
I owned BP when the rig in the Gulf exploded. At the time, I didn't fully understand the impact it would have. I knew there would be ramifications. I knew the share price would suffer. What I didn't know was how much damage that spill was going to cause.
In retrospect, I should have sold that day, but I didn't. I'm sure some of you have experienced that "frozen deer in the headlights" syndrome at some point in your investing career.
I thought that BP was financially sound enough to weather the storm, and they were. I thought as long as they continued to pay the dividend, I would reinvest the dividend at lower prices, thus building my position for the eventual turnaround.
I was further encouraged by the fact that the BP dividends were one of the largest contributors to the UK pensioners. Surely BP wouldn't screw them!
BP announced the dividend was safe and in fact, declared the dividend. So, I kept the position on auto pilot. Just days before the dividend was supposed to be paid, the CEO of BP was called to the principals office (Mr. Obama). They pressured BP into discontinuing the dividend.
At that point my position was down 47%. I didn't know how long it would take to recoup that loss. I had no idea when the dividend would be reinstated again, if at all. I decided to lock my losses in. I sold the position.
A lot of people would look at that 47% loss and determine they couldn't take it. A lot of people would think they were forced to hold until they could earn their money back. ... That's crazy thinking! And here's why.
It has to do with position sizing. At the time, due to the number of positions I owned, BP only represented 4% of my total portfolio value. I lost 47% of that. The loss to the portfolio was only around 2%. Think about it! ... A 2% loss is nothing in the grand scheme of things. It's the total portfolio value we must think about. It was much easier to take that loss based on that. The only real damage was my ego. I can get over that in time. However, it took no time at all to make up that 2% portfolio loss.
The more over weighted your position is, or the higher the percentage of your portfolio that position represents, the higher your losses are going to be, and the longer it will take you to make up for them.
I think I can promise you, at some point risk is going to meet adversity. Count on it!
Rather than focusing on the gains, I focus on minimizing the losses. If I do that successfully, the gains are going to be there.
EXC was another "stupid" that I experienced. When I purchased it, EXC had a nice yield and they had a nice dividend growth string going. There were several double digit dividend growth years. Then came the CEG merger. EXC had to freeze the dividend to make the merger work.
I was okay with that at the time. The yield was north of 5% and I thought I'd simply reinvest the dividends and wait for EXC to assimilate the CEG merger and then get back to business. Then came a series of set backs.
Reaping the benefits of the merger was taking longer than expected. The State of Illinois was being difficult with rate increase requests. Power prices were dropping and hedges were coming off the books and EXC had to renew at lower prices, thus lowering revenue. And then the biggie. After assuring us that the dividend was safe, the CEO stated they may have to lower it in about 6 months.
None of this was considered by me in advance. I didn't know this was how it was going to play out.
As soon as the CEO warned about the dividend, I was out immediately! By this time, my capital gains had disappeared and I was now down 19.34% on the position. I took the loss and moved on.
Instead of focusing on the 19.34% loss, EXC at the time was actually under weighted because I wasn't going to add to the position while the dividend was frozen and they were still trying to work with the CEG merger. The loss to my total portfolio value was just 0.14%. Wheee! Much ado about nothing.
So in closing, my message is this. When you have a sizable loss, don't focus on that one company, measure the loss against your total portfolio value. If you own enough positions, and you have them sized properly, you'll see that your big mistake is actually a small one. Correct it before it does more damage, not just to your portfolio, but to your psyche as well.Back To Chowder's Instablog HomePage »

Tremendous post chowder and a great topic which is not widely understood.
This is a really helpful blog report chowder. It clarifies in practical, relevant terms the significance of keeping an eye on portfolio weighting, which I tend to overlook. It also speaks well to moving on after an error in judgment, correcting a mistake, and sticking to your formula....Warrior Code. Thanks for the post.
Love your blogs, Thank you! Have a question for you, Master Chowder: If you enter in every position with the same dollar amount, and its market value increases, at what percentage do you take your profits, or does the percentage(say 5% to 70%) matter less than the weighting.
Grasshopper Linda
Thank you and I look forward to it. I had a 9% return for 2012. I trimmed back on my T, VZ, and MO positions, in the fall, and put the money back into other positions to build and diversify. I am now up to 13 positions with 2 being speculative and very small %. Looking at my weightings on all and considering fees and taxes, I can trim some more off of T, VZ and MO in February to balance to equal weightings and purchase a new position. I am very grateful for the wisdom and the experience you and so many others share. There is so much to learn, I am starting late, but its a start. I like the idea of smaller weightings spread out over more positions, your logic makes so much sense.
No Chump. I have close to 50 positions in my portfolio. At the time of the BP disaster, I wasn't holding as many positions.
I have 21 DG positions
17 are equal weight
2 are over weight (about 1.7 times an equal weight position)
2 are under weight (about 2/3rds of an equal weight position)
Chowder, your philosophy has influenced my strategy. I always ask myself what would happen if one of my positions were to go completely bust, could I live with the consequences? I look at percentage of portfolio as well as percentage of income stream. Right now, I have 29 positions, but it has taken me a couple years to get here.
SDS (Seductive Dividend Sto..., contributorComments (4472) | + Follow Following - UnfollowI have 100+ positions quasi-equal weighted (see http://seekingalpha.co...). I usually invest dividends in new positions rather than increase existing ones and control fees ( http://seekingalpha.co...).
Hi Chowder, I'm here too! Great blog..truly appreciate it. I was stuck on how to set up 3 accts, 2 non taxable and 1 taxable, and not over complicate the process. You commented to just set up the three as one. This helped me out so much. I kept the 8 best of breeds that overlapped, diversified with other great stocks and it all adds up to a max 3% base position.
Looking forward to future blogs.
Hi Chowder,
Like others, great stuff and thank you! I have only recently found SA (a few weeks ago) and am soaking up info like a sponge. I wanted to further mico's comment above about multiple accounts. We are in our early 40's and in the accumulation stage (and I'm referring to knowledge as well as assets). I manage 2 Roths and will also be opening a cash (taxable) account so as to have 3 total. So far, I have been treating the 2 Roths as 1 account as I build our core portfolio (i.e 12 different core stocks, with 6 in each in each account). The cash account will essentially be for retirement as well.
So then, say you were holding 30 stocks, would you have 10 in each to keep it simple? If you were holding say 2 or 3 stocks within a sector, would you put 1 in each account, or all 3 from a sector in one account?
Similar question with weighting... Say each of your Roths were $50K and the taxable was $20K giving you $120K total. Would you set your 30 positions at $4K each, or something else? Would the 1 account being taxable make you treat your weighting different? How would you determine which stocks to place in the taxable vs. the Roths at this stage of the game?
I feel like I'm over-thinking something simple, but I sure would appreciate any thoughts or resources you'd be willing to share. Sorry for what are likely elementary questions for most folks...
Thank you for all the knowledge you share.
In addition to Chowder's response, here are some thoughts to consider as you choose what holdings in which account...
Another consideration is when you need the income. My taxable account is much larger than my IRA as I plan on retiring sometime in the next year or two. If the bulk was in my IRA, I couldn't retire for another 11+ years. I see you have Roth IRAs which treat early withdraws differently - not sure if dividend income would be counted as contribution or investment earnings.
@Bum, re. Roth, '''dividend income would be counted as contribution or investment earnings.'''
'''If dividend income in a Roth is considered investment earnings, then it's subject to early withdrawal penalties so it does a DGI that retires early no good. They would either have to pay penalties or liquidate assets to get "contributions" out. '''
Hello Jantis,
And then, when one of your kids stops making their quarterly (hopefully monthly!) contributions, you kick em to the curb, even if it means taking a loss! Sorry, I had to.
So I just want to be clear in regards to the weight concept in a portfolio. You if you have 120k to invest and you like 30 stocks. Each stock will have a 4k allocation. Then on a quarterly basis, you will take profits on the out performing stocks and redistribute them to the lesser performing stocks in the portfolio?
Yes and no. If I have 120K to invest, and I want 30 companies, I will start all of the companies out at 4K each. I do not re-balance quarterly, and sometimes not even annually.
Thank you to each of you for the feedback and confirmation. I find a place like this amazing to see people so willing to share their knowledge and experience so freely. Good stuff. I've always believed we reap as we sow.
Placement of certain types of investments is especially interesting. Man, I love when things can be kept simple and they make sense. Thank you, Chowder for the thoughts on that.
AgAuMoney, fair point on trying to keep some diversity within each account. I take it that you might try to spread out stocks of same/similar sectors between accounts (i.e. VZ and T in different accounts for example)?
Chowder, I've seen elsewhere that you highly recommend the book, "The Single Best Investment" by Lowell Miller. I love to read and will check out his book. Just curious, is it more of a book about general dividend growth investing and why, or does it drill down into how to nuts and bolts, or understanding company fundamentals?
I have done my fair share of technical analysis as I've traded options/spreads for a while now, but I never paid much attention to the companies behind the tickers. It is mainly charts and volatility. I understand a lot of the fundamental discussions but have never really learned how to interpret the info well myself.
Somehow I feel like I've hopped a fence to see what the pasture looks like on this side...
Thanks again.
@jantis, '''fair point on trying to keep some diversity within each account. I take it that you might try to spread out stocks of same/similar sectors between accounts (i.e. VZ and T in different accounts for example)?'''
jantis, in my opinion, there should be a law that every dividend growth investor needs to read The Single Best Investment. I just wrote another article last night explaining the mind set that it takes to be a dividend growth investor and the concepts and principles I apply are a direct result of that book.
let's say your core portfolio of stocks are all equally weighted. how should one weight non-core stocks? sometimes I'll pick up a few shares of a stock on a dip, if I think it's being unfairly punished by an earnings report, etc. I'm not sure how it will do, but the value investor in me wants a stake in it. I've done this with NKE, YUM, etc. As a percentage of my portfolio, how much do you recommend I allot towards those stocks?
I'm curious how chowder (and other experienced people will answer, but I'll give it a go, too.
>>> let's say your core portfolio of stocks are all equally weighted. how should one weight non-core stocks? <<<
I consider INTC and LMT to be core stocks within my portfolio. with non-core stocks, I'm referring to stocks that don't currently have a high yield or fit the DG stock profile of a company with a history of dividend growth...some are more oriented towards capital appreciation, some may currently have low yield but high DGR, some are more cyclical plays, etc. they range from BAC to CAT to F to NKE and YUM. none of them are stocks with falling earnings like the companies you listed above.
while I can see the importance of not overweighting any one position, I'm not sure I see the harm in underweighting positions. I see a lot of investors bringing underweight positions up to parity just because they like all their percentages to be equal. but if an underweighted stock I own becomes overvalued before I can buy more of it, I'd rather open a new position in an undervalued stock. so my portfolio may not look pretty--some of my 50+ positions have a 4% weighting, while others take up .5%, but I'm not stressed about adding to the smaller positions until they present a good buy.
Excellent point kolpin! I agree with you.
Just curious, chowder, about how you determine what's a full position for you. Is it the value of the portfolio divided by the number of positions, so that if you had a $150K portfolio and, say, you wanted 50 positions you'd say that a full position was $3K?
That's it Martin. That's exactly how I determine it. Then, if I don't wish to own any more positions, and each is already a full position, I will slowly start raising the weighting for each position, based on best value available. I might raise a full position to $5K each, and once that is achieved, raise it again.
Keep in mind Martin, they don't need to match to the dollar, just keep them within range of each other. The key here is to minimize losses and not have to fight for the same ground twice, especially if that ground ends up being a football field long. By playing a good defense, the offense will take care of itself since the market has an upward bias over time. It's up to us not to let one mistake wipe out years of profit. And, we will make more mistakes. You can take that to the bank. ... Ha!
My weightings have gone to heck in a handbasket due to share price appreciation over the past 12 months. I don't much care :)
Great article. But I do have some questions about keeping ones portfolio properly weighted. Here is a hypothetical, lets say that you have a portfolio with 10 positions. Each position to start is worth $1k with a total investment of $10k.
'''after 1 full year, you have 11500$ sitting in the portfolio. $1250 from the appreciation of your stocks and the balance from dividends. (Not a bad year btw). But lets say that the gains were split among only five stocks and the other five dropped. (Say the five that lost, lost $50 each. And the five that gained each appreciated $200 each in value) then at the end if the year how do you determine how to adjust for proper position weighing for the portfolio?'''
It depends on whether cash is going into the account or not. If one is still contributing cash, or collecting the dividends in cash, then I allow my winners to run and build up the laggards with the extra cash and/or dividends.
I don't understand when you comment on share price being the focus of the portfolio. A company's fundamentals are what I usually focus on.
I'm sorry Chowder, I thought I was clear because I commented on the weightings article...
I don't know that it's stupid, but it would be a lot of positioning, moving in and out of companies, even if it's only partial positions, in order to make it work. I'd prefer to stay focused on the company fundamentals and allow positions to work.
Hmm... I hear what you're saying Chowder - thanks for that. I'll think it over a couple of times and might allow the weighting to go anywhere between 1% and 4% (so half/double the initial 2%) before rebalancing to reduce trading costs, just to avoid that one company becomes 2 or 3 times more important for my income stream than others and thus reducing surprises/risks. Somehow I thought you'd be with me on that one but maybe you're right and it's just not very practical.
Chowder ---
Thank you for another logical presentation.
My previous mentor recommended portfolios containing 10 to 13 positions, regardless of the total value. The reason being that it is too difficult to manage a greater number of positions. I struggled with that concept.
I am happy now with 23 positions and following your reasoning, conclude 23 is not too many.
Thanks again.

Everyone feels the tug when the school bus first heads down the street
Back-to-school season brings with it beloved fresh school supplies, new adventures, new routines.
Even adults without kids can feel the tug to learn something new, to start again. One person calls it a "mini new year."
Gyms, libraries and naturalists all see excitement in the faces of new clients, new students. Scrapbookers work to preserve the memories as they head into a new season, ready to relish the approaching autumn.

Celebrity Central / Top 25 Celebs
Jessica Simpson
- 2011
Doing the Bump
Loose ensembles and a telltale silhouette spark pregnancy rumors for Simpson and fiancé Eric Johnson. After weeks of speculation, the fashion mogul Tweets a photo of herself dressed as a mummy on Halloween. Cradling her baby bump, she confirms, "It's true – I'm going to be a mummy!"
- 2012
The Style Set
The accidental fashion mogul returns to television as a style mentor on NBC's new reality-competition show, Fashion Star, where she joins Nicole Richie, Elle MacPherson and designer John Varvatos. "I couldn't turn it down because I felt like it was great for my collection," the mom-to-be says, "but it was also important for me to talk to these up-and-coming designers and mentor them … and really try and lead them in the right direction."
She's a Mommy!
Simpson and fiancé Eric Johnson welcome daughter Maxwell Drew Johnson. "Life has completely changed," Simpson, 31, tells PEOPLE of motherhood. "From how I sleep to what I think about, Maxwell has definitely taken over everything!"
Hot Mama
Four months after daughter Maxwell's arrival, Simpson debuts her post-baby body during an appearance on Katie Couric's new talk show, Katie. "I want to be as healthy as I can because I'm a mom now," the Weight Watchers spokesperson – who has lost more than 40 lbs. since delivering – says. "It's not a diet. It's a lifestyle."
Two Good to Be True
Nearly eight months after welcoming daughter Maxwell, Simpson confirms she is expecting her second child on Christmas, posting a photo of her daughter with the words "Big Sis" written in the sand. The star later flaunts her burgeoning belly on a Hawaiian vacation, Tweeting a bikini-clad photo and writing simply, "Bumpin' and Proud!"
- 2013
Boy, Oh Boy!
During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Simpson accidentally reveals she's expecting a boy. "The crazy thing is, I never knew that a wiener could actually make me nauseous," she says, before realizing her slip. "Well, I guess I just told the world that I'm having a boy! ... That was not planned. I just did it so crude, too."
'Ace' Up Her Sleeve
A year after the birth of daughter Maxwell, Simpson and fiancé Johnson welcome their second child, son Ace Knute. "I'm so excited to have a son," the star said at the time of her baby shower. "I didn't grow up with a brother and I think the unknown is really exciting. I can't wait to have that connection with our little man."
- 2014
Wedding Bells
Simpson and Johnson tie the knot in a glamorous wedding at the San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito, California. "I saw my gorgeous wife coming towards me and she was crying," Johnson tells PEOPLE. "I think my heart was exploding a little bit."

Bassfield, Mississippi, safety Jamal Peters is one of the more sought-after prospects in the Southeast. At 6-foot-2, 215 pounds, he has a great frame with the athleticism to boot. LSU extended and offer to him in the earlier stages of his recruitment and has been a factor ever since.
The Tigers find themselves in the thick of it for his services, despite his having a wide array of offers from which to choose. He has been on campus for multiple visits with the most recent being the Bayou Picnic the Tigers held in May.
"I went with my coach and my mom over there for the picnic last month," Peters said. "It was a good trip. The first time I went up there I didn't get to visit the school like I did this time. I talked to Coach Miles and for him to tell me he how bad he wants me on the team was a real honor."
Visits can be monumental in swaying the pendulum from one side to the other in a player's recruitment. While it does not appear that the Tigers were able to create that pivotal moment with Peters on that trip, it was certainly a step in the right direction.
"It really feels like home over there and I can really see myself playing safety at LSU," Peters said. "Coach (Corey) Raymond and I communicate every now and then and our relationship is ok. Coach (Frank) Wilson hits me up on Twitter but I don't talk to him on the phone too much. I'm going over there for the 7-on-7 tournament in July with the (Mississippi) Grind and the camp."
While the impending trips to Baton Rouge are great for the Tigers, other schools will also have their opportunities to woo the standout safety. With options from around the country, Peters appears to be making some headway in narrowing things down a little bit as a decision gets closer.
"I may go to Florida and Florida State this summer because I haven't been up there," he said in regards to his summer plans. "Then I'll go to Mississippi State on July 18th for the Big Dog camp."
As for what schools Peters says have garnered most of his attention of late:
"Florida State, Mississippi St., Ole Miss, LSU and Alabama are the schools in my top group right now," Peters said. "LSU is holding steady in that group."
Peters has maintained that he is in no rush to make a decision, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't cross his mind. But no matter what the date, he knows he wants to be 100 percent sure before making that final call.
"Sometimes when I think about it, I just want to commit sometimes because the recruiting process can be tough," Peters said. "But I know how my mind works and I really love all the schools. So I would probably just end up decommitting later and I don't want to do that. I will probably commit on National Signing Day, but recruiting gives you a headache."
James Smith previously worked as a talent evaluator for Elite Scouting and Max Emfinger and has served on the selection committees of various high school All-American games. He can be reached at email@example.com or 504.826.3405.

A sense of shame and defeat "especially for working class men" in not having a job or providing for the family, a reluctance to talk about emotions and a greater tendency to turn to drink and drugs were also cited as reasons.Prof Platt said: "Men are often criticised for being reluctant to talk about their problems and for not seeking help."With this in mind, we need to acknowledge that men are different to women and design services to meet their needs.

Are you a 'tech' family?
hey everyone! So, not that i'm concerned or anything...but when is it too much? Between my husband and 2 kids (6 and 4), we've got 2 iPads, 2 iPods, 2 Laptops and 2 iPhones.... we've also got an xBox, PS3 and a Ninendo Wii... during the week, we spend A LOT of time on these devices...my kids included...I try to get the kids to be as active as possible, and they are! Great healthy shape and no obesity, thankfully... but is it too much??? Seems impossible to get away from it all... myself, i'm in front of a computer screen atleast 10hrs a day.... interested to hear other peoples points of view....
I think everyone should take one electronic-free day each week. You'd be amazed at the personal interactions! I do think that's alot, but that's because of my lifestyle and the time that I raised my kids, who are now adult. They got cell phones when they went to college. We had one computer in the house when they were in high school, and it was kept in my bedroom. Now, I have a laptop, and a plain talk/text phone. Husband has a tablet and talk/text phone.
we have 7 laptops for our family of 4. Xbox, kinects, ipods, etc...My children are 18 and 19. Both live at home but are in college. We have family game night on the weekend and family dinner at least twice a week( cell phones off) Technology is great but nothing beats human contact.
We are not a tech family, so I don't know if I could help you. We have cell phones, (regular) , a computer, a wii, and one tablet. Most of this just in the last year or two, and my kids were mostly grown--teens-- before we got them. I think that helped them to learn to live without them--keep a healthy balance. They're not on them all the time; maybe a half hour to an hour a day. They do text a lot though, although no where near what their friends do in a month.
I wouldn't worry unless you can begin to see them being unwise with their responsibilities or are behind socially, or can't function easily and adaptively in social situations.
We have a few game systems, an ipad that was given to us, a lap top and a desk top. The kids are allowed to play maybe an hour of games a day if they do all their chores and can watch tv if they do their chores. I am on and off the computer during the day in between cleaning and stuff. I do a lot of diffrent things on here. My husband is on his lap top some
PC, 3 Ipods, Kindle, Kindle Fire, Nook, a Tablet, a Nintendo ds and 2 PS 3's.
Whew. That's a lot of electronics! All we have is my laptop, an Xbox 360, a Wii, my oldest daughter's iPod nano 2nd generation, my cellphone, my husband's cellphone and our oldest daughter's cellphone.
I thought that was alot, lol.

During an appearance on Monday's edition of the Morning Joe program on the liberal MSNBC cable TV channel, Donna Brazile -- the interim chair of the Democratic National Committee -- behaved in what can best be described as an "animated" manner from swaying in her seat to making a number of expressive gestures. According to an article by Mark Finkelstein of the legalinsurrection.com website, "Brazile has been a fixture for years on talking-head shows" and someone he always thought of "as an affable but relatively reserved soul."
After the smoke cleared in the voting for the 'Damn Those Conservatives to Hell Award' at Media Research Center's 2016 Gala, frequent Notable Quotables subject and MSNBC host Chris Matthews emerged as the winner for a vicious smear after the New Hampshire primary on "troll-like" Ted Cruz for living "below the level of human life."
MSNBC host Joe Scarborough clashed with Hillary Clinton Campaign Manager Robby Mook during Wednesday's edition of the Morning Joe program after the constantly smiling guest repeatedly avoided answering questions about the Democratic presidential candidate's foreign policy.
Also, co-host Willie Geist asked Mook about Clinton's past support of Barack Obama's "red line" against Bashar al-Assad's use of chemical weapons in Syria. "She supported the drawing of the red line. … Was it a mistake to draw the red line if the president was not willing to do something about it when it was crossed?"
The press continues to ignore reality by insisting that it's a settled matter that Hillary Clinton and conpany were never involved in fomenting and promoting the Barack Obama "birther" rumors. Even today, with damning new evidence that a campaign apparatchik started such an effort, and that a confidant whose relationship with the Clintons goes back to Bill Clinton's presidency pitched the story to a former journalist at the McClatchy news service, reporters Jill Colvin and Jonathan Lemire at the Associated Press insisted, as if it's an undisputed fact, that "there is no evidence" that "the 'birther movement' was started by Hillary Clinton."
It was just a matter of time before the piling-on from denizens of MSNBC's Morning Joe after Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson's goofy Aleppo gaffe caught up with someone else on the show.
Johnson drew a blank in response to MJ regular Mike Barnicle's gotcha question, a flub that quickly went viral and dominated discussion during the rest of Thursday's broadcast.
The "Big Three" network news programs were all a buzz Thursday evening over a seemingly inexplicable exchange that occurred on MSNBC's Morning Joe that morning. "And what is Aleppo," Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson inquired after being asked by journalist Mike Barnicle what his plan for the city was. "Johnson stumped not by a gotcha question but a basic foreign policy question in the headlines for months," stated ABC's Martha Raddatz on World News Tonight. But the evening prior Hillary Clinton was grilled in a forum about her use of a private e-mail server and they all but ignored it.
If I've lost Cronkite, I've lost middle America, President Lyndon Johnson allegedly complained in February 1968 while watching CBS News anchor Walter Cronkite pronounce from Vietnam during the Tet Offensive that the war was a clearly a stalemate and hence pointless for the United States to remain in the fight. Turns out this oft-cited tale is probably apocryphal, as American University professor and Media Myth Alert blogger W. Joseph Campbell has persuasively argued. On the night of Cronkite's report, Johnson was in Texas attending a birthday party for Gov. John Connally and could not have seen Cronkite's reporting, back in a nascent high-tech era before videocassette recorders and DVRs.
Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski wants it both ways. The extended coughing jag suffered by Hillary Clinton during a campaign appearance in Cleveland on Labor Day was, to Brzezinski's discerning eye, merely a "cough."
But no sooner had she tut-tutted away the latest example of Clinton showing she's hardly the picture of good health did Brzezinski excoriate Clinton's running mate, Virginia senator Tim Kaine, seated behind Clinton on that stage in Ohio, for not galloping to Clinton's rescue.
You didn't need to have the sound working while viewing MSNBC's Morning Joe today to know things were not going well for Hillary Clinton. The sad looks on the faces of hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough pretty much revealed the story. A sense of gloom had descended upon the set of Morning Joe as Mika led off detailing the latest drip, drip, dripping of Hillary scandals. Then Joe joined added to the mournful mood by noting how the polls have been tightening in recent days. This was all in stark contrast to the upbeat mood of just a few weeks ago when Hillary was so far ahead in the polls that they were practically declaring Donald Trump's political funeral.
The Big Three networks' morning newscasts on Tuesday all failed to cover the Associated Press's early Tuesday report that revealed the 72 mass graves inside current or former ISIS territory. Instead of spotlighting ISIS's mass murder, ABC's GMA aired a 50-second news brief on a unicyclist's stunt on top of a 840-foot tower in Romania. CBS This Morning set aside 43 seconds of air time to a race car in Bolivia jumping over a dog that wandered into the road. NBC's Today devoted 38 seconds to a Colorado teen soccer player's running flip over a goalie.
In what must be at least the twentieth media installment of "I can't be objective about this," MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski brought out her death stare as she reacted on Friday's Morning Joe show to Donald Trump's characterization of Hillary Clinton as a bigot — after several months during which Mrs. Clinton, her campaign and the press (but I repeat myself) have routinely called Trump or his rhetoric "racist."
Apparently unaware that we heard her the first time, Brzezinski addressed Mr. Trump as if there, saying "You have no idea" three separate times, and also said, "I can't pretend and sort of try to cover this fairly and put it in a veil of objectivity." Why don't you tell us something we didn't already know?
