Hey rnsmth! Welcome and thanks for posting -- very glad you found us here.

That's a great looking list of companies you've got there, well balanced and all. There are a few things there I don't recognize, but most are dependable old friends. Without doing the math, looks like you are happy with a lot of energy / utility exposure?

Yes, I am happy with that. Some of the energy exposure is inmid-stream pipeline companies, which is a different risk than a major integrated company like CVX.

Happy with the utilities also. Good dividend yields, the ones I hold have pretty good dividend growth rates. I would not own something like Con Edison or Hawaii Electric, for example, because of low or not dividend growth.

I agree it is a nice collection of DG companies and weightings. How long have you been putting that together, rnsmth?

35 Holdings in these peanut sized IRA portfolios

Underweight - ARCP KMB, NGG, POT, SDRL, (roughly $1,500 to $2,500 positions)

Overweight - AAPL, CVX, DLR, GE, JNJ, KMI, MCD, O, OHI, PG, SE, WEC (roughly $3,800 to $5,800 positions)

Equal weight - AVA, BAX, BCE, BMO, BNS, CAT, CLX, CSCO, GIS, KO, KRFT, LMT, LNT, RCI, SO, TGT, UL, WAG (about $2,900 to $3,700 positions)

A rough estimate of dividend income for 2014 is $5,550. If I add 3 positions after we finish getting set up here, it will climb to over $6,000 annualized. Thank goodness for pensions and Social Security Smile. I use about a 7% dividend growth estimate, but think it could come in a bit higher. That compares with growth in pension income of 1.25-2% annually and in SS of whatever the COLA is - pretty low right now.

All dividends are being reinvested via DRIPs into the companies that paid the dividends, and we plan to continue that practice until and unless we absolutely need the income (not very likely), or we need to start RMDs in 9 years.

Ron, the only ones I don't know are NGG and SE and I should know NGG since I live in their franchise territory. The rest, except for KMB/KMI, we either have or are on the watch list. Really solid and interesting portfolio.

You done good! A few years from now, should should be really Big Grin.

“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
