I have 40 stocks. Too many. Over time I'd like to have a portfolio of 20 - 25 stocks (diversity is protection).
My portfolio seeks to create streams of dividend income (presently reinvested) add stock price appreciation.
In terms of annual dividends my top 5 stocks are
$ABBV $EPR $BGS $AAPL & T.
My worse 5 stocks are:
WBD (never bought it, a spin off of T)
$GEVO (one of worse investments I ever made)
$BGS (substantial price cut, but I keep it for the substantial annual dividends).
DSX
OP (never bought, a spin off of DSX).
