Slimming Down to Bulk Up
To make room for the new recommendations we will be adding to the Breakthrough Tech Stocks portfolio we are revising the STI portfolios as described below.
Investments Portfolio
The Investments portfolio will be merged with the Smart Tech 50 portfolio since it always includes the top 10 rated stocks according to our STR (Smart Tech Rating) system as indicated in the far right column.

New Relic (NEWR)
Qualys (QLYS)
Splunk (SPLK)
Tableau Software (DATA)
Medical Profits Portfolio
As described in Dr. Duarte’s “Sector Spotlight” article, we are closing out positions in the following stocks:
Greatbatch (GB)
Invacare (IVC)
Medivation (MDVN)
Neurocrine Biosciences (NBIX)
OmniComm Systems (OMCM)
Otonomy (OTIC)
Sanofi (SNY)
Sirona Dental Systems (SIRO)
