Some of these are high risks. I am in the early 30s, probably don't need the money for a while, and has a lot of time for a bull run. I am in Tech field myself, and I know the potential and risks of facebook and groupons. Looking for your comments.

I would get out of YOKU, RENN, RIMM, FB, GRPN, HPQ... I have a lot of friends in China and have already had conversations about Renren and Youku. It's all about QQ and their brands. BIDU would also be fine. FB I think will go below $20. GRPN might not go bust, but it's not going anywhere, the more popular they get the more they lose and its business model is easy to copy, which has already been happening.
I would keep AXP, GOOG, IBM, ORCL, T. I think you should add AAPL to your list.
I think it might be worth speculating S.
I don't have an opinion on AGNC, BK, CCGY, KO, CDCAQ, WFC, JPM.
RenRen ranks #90 most popular websites in the world, with market cap at $1.68B, I think there are definitely more popular in china as Facebook having trouble entering China.
Obviously China's FB (RenRen) getting more growth than real FB inside china. Like I said it's a risky bet, but the upside is also huge. Give it 10 years, it either get sold or becomes the next FB.
AAPL is currently priced with all the potentials already, most people who are getting the iPhones already has one. it won't have the same growth as it did when it announced iPhones and iPads, until they come out with something as innovative.
You have way too many stocks. Don't make the same mistake I did when I was at your age. Buy one or two stocks and put all your money on that. If you have million dollars, then you can start to diversify. But if you are playing with 5K, don't buy 10 shares of each of the above.

diversity is good but only with a large sum , managment and purchasing costs eat up any gains
Hell ya, Div 15% can't beat that, plus with the low rates until end of 2014, it won't be under pressure anytime soon.
I own a lot of shares in real estate operations right now and I've been pretty happy with them. They aren't as volatile as the rest of my stocks and they're helping to make up for some of my losses from last month through the high dividends I earn from them.
Seriously though, AGNC is the best. The market has gone down the last month and AGNC has stayed even or gone up and then there is the dividends to boot. Just have to keep an eye on borrowing rates which shouldn't be effected until late 2014. It is very hard to beat this stock although some of us try for the fun of it.
