Not in exact order of port %.I forgot about this thread. It's a great idea. Even a quarterly update would be interesting. Current top 10.

Lot's of index and sector EFTs on the side.

I rolled a large 401K last year and started with cash. I am still slowly heading where I'd like to be. 50%+ of my ports income comes from my covered call and put selling habit every month. That causes some changes and I don't like them all.
Anyway...
T has made a big rise in my top ten because I sold puts until I got forced in sub $30
AMZN fell from #1 to #10 because I gradually bought it on the way down late 2018, and gradually sold it on the way back up.
Had a nice ride with MCD and gradually moved all of it into current yield plays. (not a brilliant plan so far but MCD is too pricey for me now)
BMY has made a big jump in my port. (Sold puts and allowed myself to be assigned rather than rolling them forward.
MET and MO have also entered the top 10 due to new purchases. (MO via put sales.)
I'll likely be forced to lighten up on APPL and HD due to call selling, unless they pull back significantly in 2019.
Yeah I know that all sounds too complicated.
Just outside the top 10 I have a lot more pharma and utilities. Higher yield remains the game plan as I approach retirement.
