Sounds like I could be sitting on a gold mine if I diversified and invested in many of these pharm companies I know the inner working to.

I do have the time to watch them but it is not the most efficient thing. There are like 2-3 positions I have I think i can get rid of this year and I would just more than likely add to my current core positions. Now its time for those dividends to roll in, I missed some ex-dividend dates so it will take a couple months till I am fully dividend efficient. In the mean time the market will go up down and around and I have to drown out the noise and stay the course.<br /><br />Thanks for droppin by boys.

I find it's too time consuming to keep up with more than that. Nice job on the purchases and you have a very diversified portfolio. I just opened a Motif account that I plan to use to add some diversification to my portfolio. I'll have to post a review of that soon.

I personally am looking at maybe HSBC, Taiwan Semiconductor or Credit Suisse or even possibly an Australian bank. I also would like something in South America, either bank or energy as they are poised for an upturn. Time to be picky choosy now tho.

I'd also like to add a few international stocks to my portfolio but I'm up around 42 holdings so I'm being more selective with my purchases. There's still another 3-5 companies I'd love to add but I'll have to wait for a sizable pullback or the next recession to realistically purchase them.

As I mold my portfolio I may drop one or two this year that are under performing or if they cut their dividend. Most say its a lil bit crazy to buy a full portfolio right away but market timing does not apply as much to the long term equity holder. Also I am a lil crazy!<br /><br />Thanks for droppin by Keith and good work over there on DivHut!Asset-Grinderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10563675122942032357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5093516850393706942.post-56899477603799347472014-05-28T09:35:03.970-07:002014-05-28T09:35:03.970-07:00Wow.

I have 0 energy in my portfolio and was looking to add that one. Not that I'm against energy, I have owned BP TOT & CVX in the past and all did well. Regarding the number of holdings you have I think I agree that 50+ is a bit much. I think 60 is overkill. No need to be spread that thin.

For a self directed type of guy I am they were not the best fit for me and I pulled the trigger. I feel much less restricted and a weight removed. I rather lose my own money with no MERs than someone else do it for me lol.Asset-Grinderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10563675122942032357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5093516850393706942.post-6855638397074577812014-05-27T12:36:20.898-07:002014-05-27T12:36:20.898-07:00AG,
