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.
