SWVXX 35% Schwab money market
Preferreds 12% Assorted individual positions
ET 6% both common and preferred shares
PDI 5%
FSCO 3% (short term trading asset)
As you can see, I have gone quite conservative but continue trading aggressively around the edges. I just sold big positions in HIX, FINS, AIQ, IBM and preferred CEFs on technical indicators. Could return to any of them, depending on momentum. I am particularly watching (but not yet buying) SVOL PHD PSF PGP MMT BCI JCP FLC GOAU HFRO PTA.
I may increase PDI if operations clarify. Or, if I imagine I see aggressive moves are called for, I will resort to QLD or SMHB.
Market looks tired at the moment. Possible next moves: dump FSCO and buy bear mkt hedge SQQQ. Add to BTI?
Regrets du jour: relatively small positions in BABA, BXMT. Dumb & dumber.

Outside of cash my big three, at about six percent each, are Income Fund of America (AMECX), Capital Income Builder (CAIBX) and Franklin Income Fund (FKINX).

Cash (including 6 month T bills, money markets) is 8.93%, APPL- 6.57%, XOM-6.49%, MSFT- 5.16%, then smaller amounts of multiple individual stocks, all 2.5% or less.
Our XOM is our firs stock we bought with VERY low cost basis, will probably let heirs inherit for step up in basis. AAPL and MSFT have very low basis also.

Just a FYI. PDO's largest holding, WESCO AIRCRAFT HOLDINGS INC at 3.3% is dealing with bankruptcy. Hopefully it doesn't adversely affect PDO or other PIMCO funds.

Pimco is often involved in restructuring and bankruptcy reorganization and has set at the table. As the news cited for Wesco+Pattonair/Incora mentions, its current lenders are financing the bankruptcy reorganization and would certainly stiff its suppliers. It's a firm owned by private-equity. I have no further info - some debt may be reissued or converted into equity. Wesco debt is a holding in the Pimco triplet - PDI, PDO, PAXS. I trade the trio and currently PAXS is my largest holding among the three; as mentioned elsewhere, PDO and PAXS have the term structures, meaning that they will liquidate at some point. Looking into stale fund holdings and second-guessing the fund manager may be counterproductive.

Thanks for the responses so far... uncleharley and myself are alike in the sense we both own an investment from PIMCO in about the same share of our portfolio. One is risky and the other riskier? |

In the end Ivascyn directs most of these funds. PIMCO takes risks in places we often are not able to go, so I am not worried about a few misfires. |

But PIMIX is huge and Wesco may be in its 7,272 holdings - I will let someone else do that scrolling  . |

vti/vtsax -- 22%
voo/vfiax -- 22%
pimix -- 20%
I used to have 44% in vti/vtsax but split them recently. I know they have much of the same holdings but I wanted more of the
500 largest companies. Over the long term vti/vtsax has done better but in the last 5+ years or so voo/vfiax is leading by just a tad.

I don't like tax loss opportunities :^) -- All but a tiny sliver are in ira/roth so no tax loss opportunities for me, I just reinvest and let them ride. I use my income allocation (some call it bonds) to fund my expenses and move some $$$ from stock to income when the stock allocation gets over 60% or so. |

Thanks for the responses so far... uncleharley and myself are alike in the sense we both own an investment from PIMCO in about the same share of our portfolio. One is risky and the other riskier? After all the years of my reading Pimco chatter, this morning I did a quick run-thru of several CEF 3-yr NAV charts. Must say, their long-term trajectories have been pretty dreadful, for the most part. Buy-and-holders will immediately point to the distribution stream as compensation, which strikes me as riding the down escalator while being showered with quarters. The good news is that several Pimco CEFs have found decent NAV support since March, so RECENT buyers are doing OK. I'm convinced Pimco CEFs should be regarded as trading assets. Too many people over the years have been hurt by long term holding. You have to dig a little to see NAV erosion. But it's easy to bliss out on that all-too-obvious distribution stream. OK -- Pimco CEF management is brilliant. Now where are the gains? |

VTI, 29%, until tomorrow…… I assume you are taking CGs. But 29% VTI is a good holding IMHO. |

From a thread I started in the Mutual Funds sub-forum:
--------------------------------------
Here is info I sent to my daughter, who has 85% of her large IRA in this holding, FSPTX, Fido Select Technology Fund...and it is my largest fund holding:
-----------------------------------
Message to Daughter three: (Percent below is percent of fund portfolio the holding represents). Very pleased with this set of holdings for you and me, owned past four decades. Note global foundries is the chip maker 5 miles from our NY home. Go Nvidia!
FSPTX...Total Assets: $9.3 Bil
Top 10 holdings:
Apple Inc ....19.76% ....Feb 28, 2002 1,872,019,005 0.00 23.77 29.07
Technology
Microsoft Corp ...16.27% Apr 30, 2015 1,540,959,464 0.00 25.16 29.50

Very pleased with this top ten in terms of Artif. Intell. investing. I cannot give my percentage of portfolio in FSPTX, because I don't know (not an easy calculation for me). But I have owned/accumulating FSPTX since inception date, over four decades ago, and never sold any.

Staggering.
