Rob, I struggle with that also. Part of my plan is to have at least one holding in each of the S&P/GICS 10 industry classifications. I'm short in the Basic Materials sector and cannot settle on which ones to look at -- mining? chemicals? plastics? wood products?
I like your allocations although 15% in Financial Services seems a couple percent higher than I think prudent. Then I look at my portfolio and see I've done the same thing.
Those yields do seem nice.
I'm guessing that you're spread out enough, and knowledgeable enough, that actual percentages, even if a few off your goal, are not going to hurt you.

“While the dividend itself is merely a rearrangement of equity, over time it's more like owning an apple tree. The tree grows the apples back again and again and again, and the theoretical value of the tree doesn't change just because of when the apples are about to fall.” - earthtodan
