I was studying your portfolio, and I noticed that the overall yield is 2.72%, similar to your parent's proposed portfolio of 2.66%.  Do you choose stocks that just happen to arrive at those yields when mixed together, or do you consciously work to pick stocks that come to around that figure?

Was pure coincidence that the yields ended up with similar values.

I could easily bump up the income for my parents' portfolio by swapping out some of the ETFs for more in individual stocks. It was put together as a starting point for them to look at, they haven't made any final decisions on it yet.

You could easily put them above 3% and still have plenty of growth plays.
