I'm assuming your goal is growth but your invested for income. You basically have a Dogs of the Dow portfolio w/ a few specs in SLV, C, and Siri.  
Not that there is anything wrong w/ your stocks I think dividend stocks will be good but would look for higher yields.  Perhaps:
SNH,
WWE,
PGN,
LLY,
PMI,
MO

For specs C and SIRI have too big of floats to go any where IMHO. I'd take a look at what some other posters have mentioned w/ QMM and RBY for flyers or even FCEL, HTM, IDIX, ANDS, LXRX.

Really like Citigroup.

Also recommend taking a look at EMC and HD. (Emc and Home Depot). 

USU (Usec) is a sleeper as well.

I'm with nc1capper.... blue chips are the way to go, especially those with high yields in this kind of economy.

I expect small, mid-caps to continue to lag the overall market .  Many of the large, mega caps are getting lots of their revenue from overseas sales, not U.S..

Two Mutual Funds and a junk bond account through Vanguard.

Bought Citigroup about a month ago. 

Let's hope 2011 brings us all great profits.

Overall up to +11.79 % in 15 days.

Should i be thinking of cutting some profit out of my stocks or just let it sit get dividends and forget them for few months/years?

My question is how does one investor make most out of his money?
By taking profit time to time or letting a stock sit for years and forget about it?
I am unsure if i should for example sell some when its +20% or think/hope it will go to 40%
on the other hand when stock goes down 10-15% should i cut my loses and sell asap? or wait for it to rebound.

I know where is no right answer but whats the "book" way to do it?
