I added to ABBV, JNJ, FDX, CI, AMGN and FDX

Don't even ask how many ABBV shares I own. Way too much

I'm adding to the names that are down while others chase the high flyers lol

Look!  I quoted and only one post came with it!

Yeah, if I remember correctly ABBV is your top holding.  I think you may have more value in that one holding than I have in my whole taxable account.  I bet your 2/5/8/11 month dividend payments are way above your other months (nothing wrong with that of course!)

ABBV is indeed my top holding by far lol     Hey when you like something you buy it. The only problem is I cant stop buying it when it dips in that $106-$108 range lol.

My top 10 are ABBV, MSFT, AMP, LHX, MDT, UNH, O, AON, JNJ and LIN - CTAS, DUK, APPL and PSA just outside it.
 
Not your everyday traditional top 10 holdings but ones that work for me year in and year out. I have owned some of these for 10+ years

Now I'm just curious, it's time for the 10 year challenge!  $10,000 invested in each ten years ago:

ABBV (01/02/2013) - $46,377.68
MSFT - $141,397.28
AMP - $76,178.04
LHX - not on the site
MDT - $47,472.57
UNH - $104,233.84
O - not on the site
AON - $69,576.50
JNJ - $35,447.94
LIN (11/01/2017) - $22,452.14
CTAS - $140,448.02
DUK - $28,383.87
AAPL (APPL doesn't exist) - $169,997.97
PSA - $37,509.26

So your top 10 performers over the last decade are Apple, Cintas, and Microsoft.  Wow, I'd never even thought of buying Cintas before.

Your leaving out all the dividends as well which are not included in your calculations. 

And how can you not own CTAS. Just pull up a chart lol. And just about every company uses there products.  

This is why you own stocks and not 3x ETF's 

CTAS have owned since 1996. I have had 4 stock splits since then. My average cost is around $14 now. Back then the dividend was like 4 cents. Now its's $95

That's not leaving out the dividends; that web site is awesome because it includes dividend reinvestment.

Thanks for the tip on Cintas, and congratulations on the long hold!

I think there is room for both stocks and etfs in one's portfolio.  Even the right triples.
