should have put everything in (T) , one of the few areas which hasnt dropped is telecoms , bought france telecom which was at a five year low and has a bumper dividend , downside is its likely to fall further on account of europe
First off impressive list, nice to build a large portfolio and not get charged a management fee. I would like to see more in consumer staples (IE KFT), and energy (especially given the recent drops). Also I'm assuming you have other non-stock investments?

im 45% stocks , 45% cash , 10% prescious metals
i had chevron but sold it , i might buy BP as its cheaper now
i have two large irish food companys so i dont think i need KFT , nestle would be my choice ahead of it anyway
you cant pick everything , think il drop pfizer , microsoft ( in a year or so , maybe sooner ) and replace them with apple and mc donalds , im too heavy in pharamceuticals and apple has a lot more growth potential than microsoft , i just bought them in such a large amount because of the high dividends
STD is a real gamble but its a bank with a global reach and a fantastic dividend , spain could drag it down with it though
My recommendation would be to decrease your exposure to Europe.
i have a german index ETF + two irish food companies + a swiss luxury goods maker + spanish bank , germany is doing well , the irish economy is on the floor but 80 % of food produced in ireland is exported , agriculture is a sector which is expected to grow going forward so il stick with glanbia and kerry , china is buying a huge chunk of luxury goods and besides , ive only a small amount of stock here
ive lost too much on banco santander to bail and besides , they pay a bumper dividend , 40% of their business in south america so they should survive
Utilities also pay nice dividends and are reasonably stable
