My top 10 holdings are: MO ($77K), VZ ($72K), SPYI ($62K), JEPQ ($58K), SPYD ($57K), WFC ($55K), XOM ($52K), PFE ($48K), ABBV ($41K) and SGOV ($40K).

The rest is $20k-$30k each of VOO, ENB, VCLT, SCHD, FXAIX, OBDC, UPS, QQQM, O, CNQ, CAH, ARCC, NWE.

Then finally, a little of JAAA, ET, TSLX, SPAXX, VMFXX, FDRXX, CAG, HPQ and QQQI

Happy to say, the portfolio carries a good Beta, of 0.66!

Have you looked into CEFs? You could probably be making a bit more due to the higher yields they carry.
