Where ETFs and Mutual Funds Collide

While Frank allocates 20% to 25% of the fund to "opportunity areas," his current top holding is the large and liquid PowerShares QQQ (QQQQ), which tracks 100 of the largest domestic and international non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq based on market capitalization.

The top 10 holdings in the QQQQ are currently Apple (AAPL), Qualcomm (QCOM), Microsoft (MSFT), Google (GOOG) and Research In Motion (RIMM), Oracle (ORCL), Cisco (CSCO), Gilead (GILD), Teva Pharmaceuticals (TEVA) and Intel (INTC).
