And he has certainly put his money where his mouth is. With just 10% of his holdings in stocks and the rest in cash, bonds, CDs, property and precious metals, Buchanan has pretty much bypassed the bull market, assembling a collection of investments that financial planner David Feldman calls the "Y2K survivalist portfolio." But he's nothing if not consistent. Says planner David Yeske: "Pat Buchanan was vehemently opposed to Nafta [North American Free Trade Association], and it kind of shows in his portfolio. Bonds, conservative utilities -- not a very internationalist portfolio." It's true: You won't find any "bleeding borders" here, no investments in foreign plays like Telefonos de Mexico (TMX). Buchanan's loathing of taxes is also reflected in his holdings. He has $500,000-plus in municipal bonds, all from his home state of Virginia. Planner Dee Lee sees the bond focus as the work of a tax-phobic investor with an ultraconservative bent. "Here's the reality: Would you want to get a 12% [return on your investment] and pay some taxes or just get 3%? He's got his money in resting places. It's not being used." Also collecting dust is $250,000-plus in precious metals. And we're not talking gold-oriented stock or mutual fund investments here: Buchanan has actual lumps of metal in a vault somewhere. Even with Buchanan's small collection of stocks -- including apple-pie telecom picks like AT&T (T) and Lucent Technologies (LU) -- Dee Lee gives the self-proclaimed "economic nationalist" a three out of 10 for having a sluggish portfolio. "It's undiversified and not interested in growth." Company 12/31/98 Price Curr. Price* % Change 12/31/98 Shares Est. Value Ameritech Corp. (AIT ) 63.38 NA 0% 513.0 0 Bell Atlantic Corp.
