I could have done better if I'd known the S&P would run so hard. Many of my stocks made a 30-50% run and I never dreamed that would happen with recession fears supposedly looming. I'll get the DGI back to right as soon when the bull run takes a rest eventually. For now my top 10 is mostly utilities, pharma, AMZN, a few defense stocks and a ton of cash. I guess it could be worse. I lost my core positions for now... AAPL, HD,BMY,MO,CVS and a couple more. It might take all of 2020 to get it back to right but my gut says be patient after this run. I share my strategy's victories and feel like I should share the downside as well or I'm not being an asset to the forum.
Got it.
I don't sell calls for that very reason. Yes 2019 was an outlier year but that is why I hold the DGI stocks that I do, hoping t catch the outlier years.
In DGI context, I only sell puts to enter.
In a trading context, the field is wide open.
This year, starting today actually,I am adding Accelerated Dual Momentum index investing to the mix. Past performance looks very good, we'll see how it goes.
Good fortune to all in 2020!

Thanks Mike, in DGI context I need to further compartmentalize that portion of the port. Selling covered calls is probably a defensible idea on most anything now. It clearly wasn't when I did it for some of my core holdings.
Not as bad as I thought but I am missing TECH and Industrials from my Top 10 for now.
In no particular order. Most are less than 2-3% of total port value, while I wait for the mythical correction
AEP
NEE
LMT
JNJ
PFE
WELL
MDT
AMZN
PEP
MET
Before the year is done the following might make an appearance HON,MMM,UTX,D. AAPL, HD, MO and MMY are mostly gone and will remain smaller positions unless they pullback considerably.
Editted again, I forgot about MET so BP knocked out of the Top 10.
RE: Your Top Ten Holdings--2019 - divmenow - 01-02-2020
So right now my top 10 holdings are
1. MA (8.43%)
2. ABBV (7.92%)
3. LMT (6.23%)
4. BMY (5.27%)
5. NEE (4.68%)
6. MO (3.78%)
7. AAPL (3.37%)
8. MSFT (2.84%)
9. JNJ (2.46%)
10. AMGN (2.1%)
Most of my top 10 holdings I own will not be adding to unless they drop another 20% from where there at currently. With the exception of MO and BMY which I will continue to add too.
Some of the new names I bought today like IRM and STOR may get close get into my top 10 if they fall further and I add more.
Oil stocks have been making a big move of late and I may add some names in that sector as well. I'm not betting heavy on this sector but well we all know the reason why lol
RE: Your Top Ten Holdings--2019 - ChadR - 01-02-2020
Top 10 holdings of 2020
1. MSFT 9.1%
2. AAPL 7.2%
3. NSC 6.3%
4. PAYX 5.6%
5. MCD 5%
6. PG 5%
7. PM 4.6%
8. O 3.4%
9. PEP 2.9%
10. INTC 2.7%
Won't be adding to any of these so the percentages should come down some this year.
RE: Your Top Ten Holdings--2019 - Ron Ricco - 01-07-2020
JNJ 5.8%
LMT 4.2%
MCD 2.9%
O 2.8%
KMB 2.8%
ORI 2.4%
TGT 2.3%
About 10 others around 2.2%
Interesting thing is ORI, LMT and O (Actually sold 100 shares of O recently),
they were all relatively small investments but growth and dividend reinvestment have them near the top.
RE: Your Top Ten Holdings--2019 - MikeWa - 01-07-2020
VZ 5.96%
XOM 5.88%
ABBV 5.56%
MO 4.43%
ED 3.27%
WELL 3.26%
D 3.07%
PM 2.88%

This will change the first few months of the year. I intend some new top tens by brute force new investment.
I'd like to forget this year. I didn't own anything crazy speculative, but I got steamrolled in FEB-MAR anyway. I couldn't have had a worse selection of pandemic stocks. Owned virtually nothing most would consider a stay at home stock. Owned most everything sure to get crushed (oil, restaurants, commercial air, amusement park, lumber, basic materials). I rode a lot of them most of the way back. A few I dumped because they aren't coming back for years. I did what I thought best to recover. I'm up but I didn't beat any index. Well maybe XLE lol. Here are some round numbers, because I'd love to relive the nightmare lol.
JAN-MAR Down about 30% overall port. That sounds normal except I was at least 30% cash. For the year I am up about 20% including dividends but mostly option income tricks. The DGI bucket is still down 5%+ YOY due to aforementioned reasons. Flipped some stocks off the market low. Made money off the bottom and holding them would have worked out a lot better, but it was a small % or port. At least I am up for the year.
Here's hoping 2021 is better. I need a better top 10, more exposure to tech on a dip, and the option income will remain a core strategy as it is less risky than buy and hold when the bull takes a longer rest. That matters to me so close to full retirement.
