Reduced Stock Holdings / Took some Profits

I sold the Technology ETF (XLK) in order to reduce stock holdings this morning. Markets still look shaky. Defensive holdings, like Utilities and Consumer Staples, are outperforming the S&P 500 today by a long shot. Further, XLK is no longer my top momentum play.

 

I only made about 1% in XLK, but the S&P 500 was flat over the same holding period so I can’t complain.

 

This brings my stock holdings to about 45% of the total portfolio.
