<<KMB is in my top 3 for total return over the past 3 years... /eom>> I just looked at my 25 positions and share price performance since I purchased them from early June, 2012 through last week. I still have some fractional shares of CM that have not left the account summary from the sale last week and I am not counting them. 3 are up 24-26% 5 are up 10-20% 13 are up in the single digits 4 are down PG, SEP and OHI are the best performers. Dividends are being reinvested in all of the positions. Before the end of the year, when I formally retire, I will have another wad of money and will move up towards 40-50 positions at that time - depending on how much I use to plump up some currently underweight positions. While I am paying more for reinvested shares for the positions that are up, I like the fact (emotionally) that there is a buffer for when the market heads down some. Ideally that would be just before I roll over money from the other accounts later this year :)
