Same here, but that's cheating lol.  I have a couple index mutual funds that top the list.  And a few bond funds, but I don't want you guys to fall asleep reading my posts.  Smile

One of the best Utes in the country IMO.  I actually owe Jim Cramer for this one lol.  He's had the CEO on his show a number of times over the years.  AEP has been able to grow better than the average UTE, without putting themselves at increased risk like SO etc.  Looks like its going to take more time, but I will build it up to a top 5 position in the end.  I've been selling AEP puts for a year, but they keep expiring worthless because UTES just won't pull back.  So I take the income for now and try to remain patient.  I would have been just as well off to buy more a year ago, but my crystal ball has failed me once again.  Smile

As I stated earlier, no new money was added except for the few DRIPs. Also took the accumulated to add to my smaller positions when value was good.

My wife's portfolio consisted of:

AFL (5.1%)
HAS (4.8%)
NSC (4.8%)

We did some shifting around in her portfolio in the spring and momentum moved most of the new entries this time around.

I don't even want to update this thread right now. I think NilesMike will "get this". I started the year with a nice DGI top 10. Sold well over 300 puts and calls in 2019. The income was awesome but I got called out of some of my best stocks way before they topped. 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.
