Get out of URE and find a REIT mutual fund. EBAY's a dog, buy amazon. I have no known symbol for YRI. Dump MAsino at 58 times earnings and a peg of 2.78, that's too rich. You've gotten a gift of an exit, and I'd take it. And SLW used to be Wheaton, but goldcorp bought it's highest yeilding and proved and probable gold reserve, so this is not the best pick for silver. If you're trying to play that space go with the silver ishare. Full disclosure, I own none of these securities. Ex post: Didn't know AMZN had come up so much. It's a bit rich, but EBAY has no real growth prospects.
Is this just the equities portion or the whole thing? I'd want to have my nest egg in more than just one asset class.
Set a % stoploss for each position. I would use 10% maximum or 5% if you're less convinced. This is for longerterm portfolios. Some use % of total liquid net worth, or % of portfolio.
