I haven't been able to pull the trigger on KMI -- trimming it that is. I own it in two different accts. -- both part of my DGI overall PF -- combined, KMI is about 10% of my DGI positions... I've been actively looking at selling 50%-65% of my KMI to get it back to the 3%-5% range of position size (combined), but every time I get down to what will I actually do with the proceeds from selling KMI, I find myself deciding that the yield plus stated divvy growth over the next 1-5 years is as good or better (and safer?) than whatever I am thinking of buying if/when I sell some KMI to diversify... for now I'm still just considering the alternatives while I hang onto all of my KMI shares.

"No genius needed to know oil was the culprit."

The oil stocks were indeed stellar, but the BDCs, MREITs and bond CEFs also had their moments and deserve to be recognized. Fortunately, I managed to diversify into all of these - diversity being an important investment principle.
