Largest stock positions are in Arivx, the stock portion of Vwinx, Vdc (etf), Mapix, Macsx, Prblx, and a 401k S&P 500 index. Largest bond positions are in Dlfnx, Dbltx, Tgcfx, Vwiux, and a 401k total U.S. bond index.
I'm not counting a moderate stash of emergency cash.

Edit: to clarify, I'm on a fairly steep slide toward "retirement," which in my case means what I've been doing for work is (a) largely going away and (b) paying next to nothing anymore. So, the plan is to continue slumming about for small shots of work income, basically as long as I inhabit the surface of this blue-green planet.
Thanks Catch... your inquiry prompted me to update my overall portfolio through TR Price's free link to M*...I didn't realize I was so conservative. Cash is in the form of Munis (USATX) (taxable acct). Bonds and Stocks are part of Roth and Self Directed IRAs
