Long time reader and occasional poster; was curious as to how readers are utilizing this mix. Right now on the equity side of my portfolio, I have 19 stocks, 10 etfs and 14 funds. I likely have more funds that I need, but some are for my roth, which are much longer term (15-20 years out, and therefore are more aggressive) some for my regular ira which I start tapping in 8 years and some are taxable. The etfs I have are AMLP, DTN, DVY, EEM, IYR, IYW, PKW, PSCH, RHS, XLP. They do not replace sectors I do not own, but diversify the sectors I own in individual stocks. Recently, had a hard time deciding between two of the staples sector ETFs I had been watching, but because one was equally weighted and one was market weighted and had little stocks in common, bought them both. Health care and biotech nicely covered in my stocks and funds, no need for etfs there.
Happy Easter and Passover to everyone
