Thanks for the list Jim, it's nice to see what others are holding, especially when wanting to add a position. Over the last few years I have increased my number of positions 2 fold(smaller positions but more of them) , never thought I would actually. Top gainers(divy and cap gain), VZ,GE,T,LLY and DOW ...and XRX gaining ground rapidly(g) (I also have intentionally been taking taxable gains and paying the taxman the last few years, I don't figure rates are going down anytime soon, the value of my taxable accounts is probably on the order of 80% tax free, if that makes sense) By value, DOW,COP,AFL,GIS, and GE And actually my largest holding valuewise (with a great cap gain) is VMGMX
