E_K_S My count is for my combined IRA and Taxable accounts. I try to think of these two accounts as one portfolio. In my previous post I made one mistake. I forgot that I have MCD in both accounts making it my largest position. Most of my positions were purchased since 1/1/2010 the exception being MCD where my initial purchase is 8/2007 (+96%). When I saw how MCD behaved during 2008-2009 a light switched on and I decided to move all my mutual funds to individual dividend stocks, especially but not limited to dividend growth stocks.
