Changing Up My Portfolio Positions For 2012

For the first time in two years I've decided to make some drastic changes to my long-term holdings within my portfolio. I believe that 2012 will be a year of large gains and that stocks with fundamental improvements and substantial loss will recover for large gains. My goal for 2012 is to reorganize my portfolio and increase my risk while also increasing my chance for gains. I've purchased several stocks in the last two weeks that I believe are priced much lower than its worth and will trade much higher in 2012. Therefore, I will be discussing a few of the changes that I've made and explain why I made the decision to reorganize 70% of my portfolio.

During the first quarter of 2009 I purchased shares of AT&T ( T ) under $24. I knew that at $24 the stock was a bargain and that AT&T would recover as the smart phone industry was picking up steam. At the time I told myself that I wouldn't sell any of my shares for at least 10 years and decided to make the stock the largest company in my portfolio, at nearly 16% of my total portfolio. However, because of so many stocks being undervalued as a result of volatility I decided that selling my shares is the best decisions for the best possible gains.

I sold my shares of AT&T nearly 2 weeks ago at $29 a share and took very large profits. The company pays a great yield and has consistently increased its dividend year-after-year. But with increased competition in the communications industry I am concerned that growth will be difficult to achieve. And with the company's failure to acquire T-Mobile it seems like a no brainer to sell shares and invest in other areas that offer better opportunity for growth. With the proceeds from my AT&T investment I used 60% to purchase shares in The Kroger Company ( KR ); 20% in Sprint Nextel ( S ), and the remaining 20% to purchase shares of Dish Networks ( DISH ).

I decided to invest more than half of the available funds into The Kroger Company because of my beliefs that the company will grow by a substantial margin in the next five years. When you stop and look at both stocks side-by-side I believe that Kroger is the better company for growth in the future. And although AT&T has a better yield, KR has increased its yield by 71% during the last five years compared to AT&T's 20% increase in the same period. Kroger has increased revenue by nearly $7 billion while AT&T's increased revenue by less than $1 billion during the last 12 months, compared to 2010. Both companies have reported less net income during the last 12 months, compared to 2010, however Kroger's loss is only $20 million and AT&T's loss is $8 billion with an additional $4 billion loss to be recorded for the failure to acquire T-Mobile. Yet despite the fact that Kroger's revenue is growing at a faster rate, along with its dividend; it's however the future direction of both companies that enticed me to make this change.
