Howdy, ExDripper here. Glad to have stumbled across a Dividend Investing Forum. The M* Forum is at times a little too much dart throwing for me. 
As you can guess from my chosen username, I'm an ex dripper. I moved from a transfer agent to brokerage because it's impossible to catch hills or valleys when the transfer agent measures time with a calendar. However, I am concerned and have questions about brokerage registration so I'll ask about that in another thread.
I currently hold only a few stocks, most investments are in mutual funds.
In order of largest to smallest holdings:
ABBV
ABT
XOM
AEP
EIX
JNJ
KO
GE
PG
KMI
I want to purchase a few more positions, but it will involve selling some of the top 5 with capital gains, so I'm dragging my feet. I'd like some T, UTX, TGT or COST, CVX & RDS.B, for now. I don't like financials, but would probably dip my toe in the water for a small position in WFC.
Interestingly, this morning I listened to a retired missionary talking about Coke. Apparently, there is nowhere in Africa you can't buy Coke. It's everywhere! Medicine and medical supplies are thin or non-existant, consumer comfort items are scarce, food can be hit or miss, but Coke is always available.
