As I am far from a financial professional and decided a long time ago that I could have both fun and make money by playing with stocks, my portfolio generally consists of a hodgepodge of the good, bad and ugly as themes merge and diverge through my head and time (see my avatar 
). The stocks change over time and are obviously assembled by a fool - so anyone who follows, assuming incorrectly that this is advice, is on their own.
As some are aware, I rarely utilize mutual funds to structure my portfolio, but I do occasionally use ETF’s to simplify specific sector purchases. I would also point out that this is strictly the equity portion of my assets and therefore takin out of context.
The positions are not all winners, and this time around, while tempted to dump the lot before I left the country in January 2021 (which would have been pretty cool and mimicked my good fortune in the past), I figure I’ve been through enough cycles to patiently wait for things to revert. Over the past year, there have been periods when it has lost up to about 10% of its value, but is currently about 5% beneath its max. As many of the shares are involved in DRIP’s (either automatic or manual), its current unrealized profit (of about 16% overall) is not worth the effort of doing the math to chart each position of an historical basis as its a case of "what have you done recently to please me?
A couple of the themes I am placing piles of chips on include
Electrical equipment manufacturers/engineers because of my belief that they will benefit from both the world’s obsession with EV’s (and the requirement of reenforcing the electrical infrastructure which will be required as well as the more current destruction during the war in Ukraine requiring more of the same.
Miners because of my belief that China is on the road towards healing their self-inflicted COVID challenges as well as natural resources being a good store of intrinsic value during inflationary periods.
I am also of the belief that both Africa and Latin America have potential beyond what the market is valuing them at.
I feel that banks as well as companies such as Berkshire Hathaway have the ability to manipulate their holdings in order make money during times of inflation and to avoid catastrophe (this time, at least) during even moderate recessions.
As derivatives of various types so far outstrip the intrinsic valuation of our economy, I feel it is prudent to hedge with both foreign stocks as well as foreign currency investments.
The overall dividend yield is about 3.15% and there are about 100 positions.
