I'm not changing anything. So far everything is working fine for me. Dividend income is up. Total return is up. Nearly every company I own increased dividends, not one has lowered them.

Going forward, my main concern is FTR and CTL. I'm going to remain patient.

I have several mergers that will affect my portfolio, so I may have to do something later with regard to that.

COP, ABT, NST, SDRL and PGN are all dealing with mergers or splitting part of the company.

Late in the first quarter, I'll be able to move additional funds from a 401K into a traditional IRA. I plan on purchasing KMI, increasing my position in a couple of utilities, and maybe add another utility.

My strongest performing company is a spec position in MHR. I'm up 740% on that one. I don't have any plans to sell in the near future. I bought it at 64 cents, now selling for $5.47 and I intend to hold it until it gets into the low teens. That's the plan anyway.

Other than that, KMR is now my best performing dividend company since I sold EPB. I bought KMR in Nov 08 and am now up 112% on that one. I'm not selling a single unit. I'm going to let that one continue doing what it's been doing.

Next week I'll produce the results of the Project $3 Million Portfolio. So far, it's impressive.
