>>Wow a lot of oil/gas and insurance co's<< Not really, it's Amtter of position side. KSB3.DE is larger than DVN and APA combined. TOT in a way is almost like an utility, with a 6% yield (before the foreign taxbite, which is reimbursable in taxable accounts). I sold AHL , MET and reduced AXS. They have all done well to me with RGA, I am following David Merkel (alephblog, seeking alpha articles) who like the business and management. I do acknowledge, that they missed earnings 2 quarters in a row. I have started to run more concentrated positions and stay within a target of <30 stocks. I think a lot of risk is macro and increasing the number of positions does not really help to alleviate macro risk, so I rather make my best ideas count.
