Oil prices keep rising, and I believe this British company is a safer bet right now than American companies.

Hi Kohalza, I would fortify that position with an equal share of exxon (XOM).. they are just as good as BP if not better. Overall, I would allow for energy stocks to go as far as 25% of your portfolio. I also see you are in Apartment rentals (URI).. i think you're nutts if you think real estate is going to perform for you in 2008.. :)

URI is sort of a gamble for me. I don't know much about them or the real estate industry. Do you have a good guru to recommend in this area?

I don't have a good Guru recommendation but I can tell you the real estate market is still looking down... take IGR.. a great real estate trust.. they are doing really crappy.. I don't think this is a time to take such gambles..
